Public libraries have become an important venue for community discussions on sensitive topics. By providing education and reliable information, we can foster dialogue and transform our communities.Our colleagues, Catherine Baer from the Rosemary Garfoot Public Library in Cross Plains, and Shauna Koszegi, from the Sun Prairie Public Library, are finding success by partnering with schools, local government and organizations. They have kindly shared their tools and resources to help us develop successful programming around topics that may be outside of our comfort zones:
