if we don't do something different, "nothing will change." A decade later, we're still stuck. How do we move forward?</span></p>

that invites story-telling, vulnerability and deep listening. The goal is to provide leaders with a tool currently used by hundreds of organizations to help uproot the flawed belief in a racial hierarchy.

</span></b></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today’s library workers play a critical role in meeting the needs of the communities they serve, from offering social service support and health services
to career and small business development assistance and tools to help combat fake news. April 9 is National Library Workers Day (NLWD), a time to recognize library professionals for their expertise and leadership skills in transforming lives and communities
through education and lifelong learning. The day also reminds the public that library workers serve as community compasses that lead users to endless opportunities for engagement, enrichment and development.

first course, which begins in April, filled-up quickly. Therefore, a second course was added to accommodate additional participants. It begins May 20, 2019.
