CHICAGO—Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures is pleased to present the two-part webinar series “Transgender People in Libraries” in November 2023. This series, led by a nonbinary trans librarian with over a decade of experience in the library field, offers guidance on gender identity concepts, anti-trans rhetoric and misinformation, and best practices in respectfully working with gender-diverse patrons, employees, and peers. Administrators and managers seeking guidance in hiring and retaining trans/gender-diverse employees as well as responding to anti-trans/anti-LGBTQ+ challenges to books, programs, and staffing decisions in their libraries are encouraged to attend. Library workers at all levels seeking best practices in working with trans colleagues, serving trans patrons, and better understanding and fighting back against anti-trans/anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation will also benefit from the series.
