United for Libraries will continue its monthly series, United for Libraries Learning Live, with "Proactive Advocacy and Communication for Library Trustees and Staff" https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/4516122032199/WN_O70bn92FQ0Sh96rwg1kVawTuesday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. Eastern. The Learning Live program is presented free to United members. (Michigan public libraries enjoy statewide membership benefits.)

Is your library Board and staff prepared for change and any crises that might come your way? Learn simple steps that library boards and staff can integrate into communication processes, using both outward- and inward-facing tools. Find out about these tools and how they can set the stage for dealing more effectively with any crisis your library faces in the future.
