Meet me at the library : a place to foster social connection and promote democracy / by Hallman, Shamichael,author.; Liu, Eric,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)341061;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-180).America is facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, with troubling effects on our mental and physical health. We live in one of the most divisive times in our history, one in which we tend to work, play, and associate only with people who think as we do. How do we create spaces for people to come together--to open our minds, understand our differences, and exchange ideas? Shamichael Hallman argues that the public library may be our best hope for bridging these divides and creating strong, inclusive communities. While public libraries have long been thought of as a place for a select few, increasingly they are playing an essential role in building social cohesion, promoting civic renewal, and advancing the ideals of a healthy democracy. Many are reimagining themselves in new and innovative ways, actively reaching out to the communities they serve. Today, libraries are becoming essential institutions for repairing society. Libraries have a unique opportunity to bridge socioeconomic divides and rebuild trust. But in order to do so, they must be truly welcoming to all. They and their communities must work collaboratively to bridge socioeconomic divides through innovative and productive partnerships. Drawing from his experience at the Memphis Public Library and his extensive research and interviews across the country, Hallman presents a rich argument for seeing libraries as one of the nation's greatest assets. He includes examples from libraries large and small--such as the Iowa's North Liberty Library's Lighthouse in the Library program to bring people together to discuss important topics in a safe and supportive space, to Cambridge Cooks, an initiative of the Cambridge MA Public Library that fosters social connection by bringing people together over shared interest in food. As an institution that is increasingly under attack for creating a place where diverse audiences can see themselves, public libraries are under more scrutiny than ever. Meet Me at the Library offers us a revealing look at one of our most important civic institutions and the social and civic impact they must play if we are to heal our divided nation. --

Libraries, the First Amendment, and cyberspace : what you need to know / by Peck, Robert S.(CARDINAL)176433;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Questions and answers about the First Amendment : sex, lies, and cyberspace -- Basic First Amendment principles and their application to libraries -- The sexual conundrum -- The right to offend -- Religious motivations and library use -- Just between you and your librarian : library confidentiality laws -- Workplace issues : employee free speech and harassment -- Children, schools, and the first amendment -- Cyberspace : the last frontier -- Appendixes : The "Library Bill of Rights" and its interpretations -- Guidelines for the development and implementation of policies, regulations and procedures affecting access to library materials, services and facilities -- Guidelines and considerations for developing a public library internet use policy -- Dealing with concerns about library resources -- Conducting a challenge hearing -- Policy on confidentiality of library records -- Policy concerning confidentiality of personally identifiable information about library users.In the library, the First Amendment is always with us. Whether we are providing meeting rooms to local groups, giving patrons access to cyberspace one-half hour at a time, or lending learning materials to children, the First Amendment is a vital part of why libraries even exist. However, it is the same Amendment that proves troublesome when it comes to providing all types of information to a diverse clientele: one person's idea of literature is another person's view of obscenity. When lines are drawn between censorship and access, librarians need to know how the First Amendment affects their role, the library's services, and access. This volume answers the questions librarians most often have about the First Amendment and library services, and includes topics on which librarians must understand their rights and responsibilities.
