<p class="MsoNormal">The <i>Colorado State Library</i> invites interested librarians everywhere to attend its upcoming interactive webinar on restorative justice and trauma-informed approaches in public libraries:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><a href="https://www.librarieslearn.org/calendar/kids-and-teens-are-patrons-too-restorative-justice-and-trauma-informed-approaches-in-public-libraries">Talking Teen Services: Kids and Teens are Patrons, Too</a><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Thursday, June 12, 1:00-2:30 pm EDT<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How can public libraries be truly inclusive spaces for youth and teens, especially those from marginalized communities? In this session, we will explore how traditional patron codes of conduct often alienate young patrons and discuss the
role of trauma-informed library services in building a more empathetic and equitable environment. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to adopt restorative justice practices and communicate rules in ways that foster trust, understanding, and
inclusion. This will be an interactive learning opportunity. Please bring a copy of your library's patron code of conduct with you for a group exercise.
