in times of crisis plan programming that creates a sense of normalcy for youth and teens in times of disaster or upheaval. This toolkit is the Capstone Project designed and written by Jamie Gilmore, Grace Morris, Erica Trotter, and Alexandria Wardrip through
the University of Washington's Information School. It was also featured (8/30/17) in <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Conversation</span></em>'s article, "</span><a href="https://theconversation.com/public-libraries-can-literally-serve-as-a-shelter-from-the-storm-83070"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#006699;background:white">Public

<span style="background:white">Grace will be joining LM's Youth Services Coordinator, Cathy Lancaster, to give library staff and administrators a deeper look at why the toolkit was created and how you can use it in your library. This will be an interactive
webinar, so come prepared to roll up your sleeves and contribute your thoughts and ideas!</span><br>
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:white">This webinar will be recorded and link shared with registrants if you cannot attend in person. </span></em><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:white"> Registration

<p class="MsoNormal">*Please note that a printed copy of the toolkit was mailed to all public library directors in Michigan in a packet of “Resources for Public Libraries,” sent by the Library of Michigan 2 weeks ago. Please check with your director for the
toolkit if you would like it in print. <o:p></o:p></p>
