[Michlib-l] Fw: Combatting Hate Via Your Library

[Lancaster, Catherine (MDE)]

From: YALSA



As a reminder, YALSA has resources to help you support youth, especially those who may be feeling the brunt of current events.  In addition, YALSA has resources to help you promote empathy and understanding among teens, especially those in predominantly white communities who need to build global citizenship skills to be successful adults in the 21st century.  Check out these wiki pages:



  *   Cultural Competence<http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Cultural_Competence> (there are resources here tailored for library staff, and others tailored for youth)

  *   Fostering Global Citizenship, Inclusion and Understanding<http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Fostering_Global_Citizenship,_Inclusion_%26_Understanding>

  *   Serving Diverse Teens<http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Serving_Diverse_Teens_@_Your_Library>

  *   Supporting Youth in the Post-Election Climate<http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Supporting_Youth_in_the_Post-2016_Election_Climate>

Don't forget that anyone can add content to these pages, so if you know of a good resource, please add it!  Thanks for all that you do to help the youth in your community succeed in school and prepare for college, careers and life!
