Instead, libraries can support staff learning by providing regular opportunities for staff to explore new skills in a brain-friendly environment.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committees are a great first step towards strategically ensuring that those facing barriers to library services in our communities are given access and opportunities. During this webinar, three different libraries will share their experiences with starting, maintaining, and moving forward with EDI committees.
