Libraries across the country are facing backlash for programs and resources for the LGBTQ+ community. Although there are now some guidelines available, actually experiencing these situations can be overwhelming. Staff from Anne Arundel County Public Library and Prince George's County Memorial Library System will share practical tools developed from their own experiences with resistance to LGBTQ+ services. Hear them discuss the barriers they've encountered and the strategies they used to move forward, and come away equipped to strengthen your own work against fear and hatred.
