<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div>Can anyone recommend a cultural competency (or cultural awareness or cultural sensitivity) training they've had at their library? Or perhaps a webinar or another form of training that staff at your library took? It's fine if it's not a library specific
training.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll compile all the results and send them out to anyone else interested in finding this kind of training.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!<br clear="all">
