Religion & Public Libraries: Do You Dewey 200? Webinar

Religion & Public Libraries: Do You Dewey 200? on April 23, 2010 from 3:00-4:00 pm is a free Infopeople webinar.

Although public libraries may not support a particular religion, the area of religious inquiry by library users does need support, just as other community and individual interests receive. Differentiating between support of a particular religious system and support of religious inquiry by any and all is what we’ll explore in this session. We’ll refine how the public library can and should:
* Evaluate and build appropriate collections in the Dewey 200′s
* Respond to religion-specific reference questions
* Train staff and volunteers to distinguish between their personal beliefs and their role in delivering promulgation-free services
* Reach out to community partners who may be faith-based affinity groups
