·
Are staff uncomfortable with library users they
perceive to be homeless?
·
Are you looking for ways to reach users in need
of social services?
·
Is your library a model for others hoping to
provide wider services?
·
A partnership between the San Francisco Public Library and
the local Department of Public Health resulted in the placement of a social
worker at the Main Library to link users to housing and social services.
Eventually a job-training component was added, providing opportunities to
develop marketable skills for people who had been homeless. Meet and hear the
story of a library outreach worker who helps herself by helping others.
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
·
Know the basic library behavior guidelines for
homeless and mentally ill users
·
Learn about successful outreach and job training
opportunities for homeless library users
·
Have strategies for helping people unreceptive
to offers of help
·
This webinar will be of interest to library front-line
staff, primarily in public libraries but useful no matter the setting.
