[Michlib-l] Tough Topics Dewey Poster-Shareable Template

[Jessica Bostian]

Good morning Michigan libraries!

Several years ago, I had seen a post on Reddit in which someone had photographed a 'tough topics' poster at a public library. The poster showed patrons where they might find some very important subjects that they might be hesitant to ask a librarian about, due to their sensitive nature.

I asked one of my department's Technology Training Associates to create one for us (shout out to Kayla Steeby for her work on this 🙂) so that we could update, customize, and possibly print these to display around our department.

I haven't seen anything like this for sale, so we thought we would just go ahead and make one ourselves and share it with anyone interested. I think this could be very helpful in empowering patrons to utilize library resources at their own comfort level.

If anyone is interested, I have here a link to a sharable Canva template<https://www.canva.com/design/DAGp_6MkQvw/xc4DgkY551QsUEE7Z20w1w/edit?utm_content=DAGp_6MkQvw&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton>, please just make yourself a copy that you can edit, print, download, etc.

Thank you everyone, and Happy Wednesday!
