Join YSS for one final professional development webinar of 2022.  Librarians often play a role in the healing journey of their patrons, from being a listening ear to offering services.  It can be challenging to address these tough situations, but two librarians will be sharing how their libraries have addressed social emotional learning. Jayme from Milton Public Library will be sharing their experience with the Healing Library resources. The Healing Library is a series of kits designed to make a family's journey of healing following a trauma easier to navigate and personalize. Jenna from Chippewa Falls Public Library will then be diving into kits that her library created from grant funds made available to them through their library system.  Participants will leave the webinar with all the resources they'll need to create social emotional awareness kits at their own library. 

 

Presenters:  Jenna Gilles, Youth Services Assistant, Chippewa Falls Public Library; Jayme Anderson, Children's Librarian & Assistant Director, Milton Public Library.
