Among the goals of OurStoryBridge are to:

  *   Capture the rich cultural history of communities with a focus on recording older generations before their histories are lost
  *   Build civic pride and engagement among students to encourage their growth as involved community members.
Since release of OurStoryBridge September 29, 2020, four communities across the country including the Keene and Lake Placid (NY), Tremonton (UT), and Igiugig (AK) have released their online story projects on our model and more are preparing to go online in 2022.

FREE ALA Member Webinar: Censorship and Mental Health: Dealing with the Emotional Fallout of Book Challenges
December 15th | Learn more<https://www.ala.org/membership/censorship-and-mental-health-enrollment-key-instructions>
During the past several months, librarians have experienced an ongoing series of polarizing, emotionally charged attempts to censor reading materials. These book challenges-which sometimes come with threats or intimidation-may target individual library staff members, and the emotional fallout can be devastating.
ALA is committed to both defending the constitutional rights of all individuals of all ages to use the resources and services of libraries as well as supporting library employees as they navigate the emotional fallout that comes with being caught in the middle of tense community backlash.
As a benefit of your ALA membership, you can enroll in this complimentary 90-minute webinar on December 15th to help you engage in self-care and prioritize your mental health amidst this threat to the freedom to read. Join Valerie Karno, J.D., Ph.D. and Dr. Lana Benedek, M.D., for an interactive event focused on rejuvenation and restoration. The instructors will offer strategies for finding resilience, as well as leading participants in a deep relaxation experience. You'll leave this webinar with tools for managing your mental health as you continue to serve your community.
