CHICAGO–When a library charges fees, denies service, or requires patrons to jump through hoops to gain access, who benefits? It's certainly not the patrons that need library service the most. Join Core on January 25, 2023, at 1 p.m. CT for the webinar “Best of Core Forum: Beyond Late Fees.” This presentation will discuss how one rural public library learned to take a hard look at what it really means to provide library service focused on empowering all community members. Institutional barriers can be difficult to take down and–for some–difficult to recognize. By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to recognize how library policies and procedures disenfranchise the populations that need library services the most, question “this has always been the way” statements and the harm traditional practices cause, and take home real-life examples of mind-set changes and how to implement them within the boundaries of governing rules.

This webinar was previously presented in-person as a session at the 2022 Core Forum. We are hosting this webinar, with the session adapted and presented live as a virtual event, to extend its reach.
