By hosting community conversations, libraries create intentional spaces that encourage listening, learning, and a deeper sense of respect among neighbors. Leading Polarizing Conversations, a new free guide from ALA, will equip library workers with the tools needed to facilitate challenging conversations on divisive issues, promoting understanding and empathy. Also available is “Libraries as Leaders in Bridging Divides,” a free five-module asynchronous e-course that provides prompts, templates, and a conversation planning tool to help library workers lead impactful conversations on polarizing issues.
