Creating Opportunities to Expand Gender Inclusion at your Library
Tuesday April 22, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am CDT
Room 325/326
Madison Public Library is committed to providing safe and welcoming spaces and equitable access to materials and services for all members of our community. As part of that commitment we strive to ensure that gender inclusion is incorporated into all aspects of library operation. In this presentation we will give specific examples of how our library is using gender inclusive principles to make changes in how we register people for library cards, how we communicate with patrons and staff, how we update forms and contracts, how gender inclusion is reflected in our collections and resources, and finally, how these changes have impacted our community and staff. We look forward to sharing ideas and hearing what others are doing to create gender inclusion opportunities at their library.

The Hudson Area Public Library introduced a fresh take on an outdoor scale solar system walk: Sidewalk graphics with QR codes for further exploration and free Augmented Reality (AR) apps to expand the interactive experience. Community connections and partnerships were forged with the park district, city council, a local graphic design firm, local rotary club and regional NASA Solar System Ambassadors in the funding, development, production, instillation and educational outreach to engage the region. The half-mile walk has drawn in communities and businesses that had not previously engaged or worked with the Hudson Area Public Library before. this session will give participants the tools they need to launch their very own Solar System Walk, and will leave with additional resources and links to host unique celestial events!
