Building Bridges: Democracy, Peace, and Conflict Resolution in the Modern World (ALA eLearning)

Grant Readiness Unlocked: Paving the Way for Winning Grant Strategies (NonprofitLearningLab)
Many people think that being in need of funding means they are ready to receive a grant award, but there is so much more to it.

Preparation on the front end will set your organization up for success to use grants as a component of your fundraising strategy.

Building Voter Support for Libraries (Consultants for Libraries)
Join Patrick Sweeney of EveryLibrary to learn how to build voter support for libraries. In the last 10 years, libraries have lost nearly 20% of voter and political support. It’s critical that we overcome this slide in political support because over 90% of library funding is dependent on the will of local voters and politicians. Another 3-5% of library funding comes from state-level legislative funding, and another 3-5% of library funding comes from Federal legislation and IMLS. Only 2% of library funding is philanthropic in nature. That means that if we don’t begin to understand sources of political power, then we’ll lose our ability to influence voters, local leaders, as well as state and federal legislators. In this webinar, we’ll discuss sources of political power, explore opportunities to influence it, and discuss the overall strategy and theory for building political support for library funding at the local, state, and federal levels.

Food for Thought: Addressing Food Waste, Access & Insecurity through Rural Libraries (Nebraska Library Commission)
Imagine grocery shopping at a Dollar Store. That’s a reality for people living in rural food deserts. The Southern Adirondack Library System and the Comfort Food Community food pantry launched the Farm‐2‐Library initiative to reduce food waste by gleaning at local farms, distributing the produce through rural libraries where food scarcity, lack of food pantries, and transportation limit access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Since launching in 2017, we’ve shared more than 230,000 pounds of fresh produce, creating and deepening relationships with the community while fostering renewed interest in library services by previously reluctant users.

Sparking Community Connections: Rural Public Library Partnerships (Nebraska Library Commission)
Why do local organizations, schools, and businesses partner with rural public libraries? Do these partnerships change the partner’s view of the library?

While public libraries have been shown to benefit from community partnerships, there is little data available on whether the partners also benefit. Discovering how partnerships can shape organizational views of rural public libraries grants insight into effective ways to approach possible partners.

Permission to Lead Differently: A New Model for Nonprofit Women Leaders (CharityVillage)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to lead the “right” way – always in control, full of confidence, and never showing emotion – only to end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and still questioning yourself, you’re not alone. Chances are, you’ve been taught to lead from an outdated model that doesn’t reflect who you are or how you work best. This traditional approach tells us to stay “on” at all times, to keep our personal lives separate, and to push down our feelings. But that kind of leadership is unaligned, unsustainable, and ultimately inauthentic. It’s time for a different way. In this session, you’ll explore a new model of leadership that feels more aligned, more sustainable, and more like you. Based on Kathy Archer’s book Character Driven Leadership for Women, this session will help you lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose by reconnecting with who you really are. Stop trying to lead the “right” way and start leading your way

Tools to Cut Through Equity Uncertainty & Lead Your Team with Clarity (NonprofitLearningLab)
Every organization has faced unstable periods or change, but what makes an organization last is ensuring that decisions during these times are not made out of fear—especially when the uncertainty is around equity. Shifts in public expectations, community needs, language, and frameworks related to equity are being challenged. These moments can create discomfort or confusion about how to move forward. Even if you believe your organization is in a stable place, it’s important to regularly assess how you’re communicating about equity and whether your team understands the organization’s values, commitments, and direction. Leaders who take time to pause, reflect, and gather input during times of uncertainty are more likely to make equitable decisions that are inclusive and clear. When teams have a shared understanding of what equity means in practice, they’re more confident in how to contribute to that vision and support each other through change.
