FYI,

 

I’m passing this information along for informational purposes only. The initiative is not just focused on youth so feel free to share with your colleagues in other departments or your library administration.

 

Let’s Move in Libraries is an international initiative to get people of all ages and abilities on the path to health. During the month of April, Let’s Move in Libraries will host a series of online conversations on community collaboration and community health. Each conversation features 2-4 librarians sharing their experiences working collaboratively with others to promote community health. After the discussion, you’re invited to stay in the room for a half-hour open conversation about that week’s topic. Each conversation takes place on a Thursday in April, 2023. Recordings will be shared on the Let’s Move in Libraries YouTube channel.

This event will also feature the launch of a Toolkit you can use to inject new energy into your health programs and partnerships.

 

Our goal in this event is to continue to build momentum and knowledge around the critical topic of community collaboration.

 

Schedule:

April 6 – Event kick-off  (1:00 pm ET) and conversation on “Institutionalizing collaboration, urban perspectives” (3:00 pm ET)

April 13 – Conversation on “Sparking change, Directors / Branch Manager perspectives” (1:00 pm ET)

April 20 – Conversation on “Institutionalizing collaboration, small and rural perspectives” (1:00 pm ET)

April 27 – Conversation on “Start where you are, early career perspectives” (1:00 pm ET) and event conclusion (3:00 pm ET)
