Ask yourself: “In the last two to three years, have our library’s summer services significantly evolved beyond a new theme each year? Are they connecting with people who have experienced marginalization?”

This full-day session will dig into the purpose of summer services and give you the chance to reimagine long-standing practices. During the session, you will learn how to apply Building Equity-Based Summers (BEBS) principles to your summer services and how to gather data that will give you fresh insights into engaging with communities experiencing marginalization. By the end of the session, you will have a framework for a plan for building and assessing equitable summer services, and be on the way to ensuring your services are built on a foundation of equity.

State Library staff will provide technical assistance, support, and consultation to participants during and after this session.
