Happy Hour is live at 5pm eastern today.
Happy Hour is a weekly stream on Fridays at 5pm where we watch a woke training from start to finish, enjoy some drinks, and mock it relentlessly.
This helps us to learn what the woke left is teaching to each other in a fun and entertaining way.

Today, we’re watching a lecture about a lecture about inclusive and affirming library programs for LGBTQIA+ Youth:
Examine statistics related to discrimination within libraries/schools and risks that LGBTQIA+ youth face on a day-to-day basis in their communities, then discuss ways that library professionals can improve the general climate of libraries and summer reading programs through various strategies from simple word choice to organizational policy change. An interactive safe space for all of your questions will be moderated by a CSLP Inclusion Committee member following the presentation portion.
Outcomes:
- Viewers will learn about implicit bias, the complexity and depth of gender, and explanation of acronyms.
-Viewers will be given strategies to create a welcoming environment in their Library and their Library’s summer reading program for LGBTQIA+ youth.
