In our roles as providers of free information to asylum seekers, previously incarcerated individuals, English language learners, and the economically disadvantaged, serving children and families can be challenging for libraries. How we think about and describe community members affects our attitudes, our willingness to engage, the assumptions we make, the environment we create and the resources we provide. We will look at language, how intersectionality highlights power differences, and how we can redefine our comfort zones. When disabled students are English Language Learners or unhoused, the barriers they face multiply exponentially. We will examine how libraries can find and support them. Recent spikes in health misinformation and book challenges disproportionally and negatively impact people's access to reproductive and sexual health information as well as period products, which makes public libraries a perfect space for menstrual advocacy. Attendees will leave with specific actions they can take to address the challenges created by hostile and stereotyped assumptions about people who are experiencing homelessness and poverty, asylum seekers, and previously incarcerated individuals and ideas for improving and implementing services that meet the needs of unhoused youth.
