Harassment prevention training

Hello,

Lately, harassment has been in the media a lot.  I know that I've been speaking to my team, reassuring them that they do not have to accept patron advances or inappropriate comments as "part of the job."  I am thrilled at this change, as when I started over a decade ago, I was told to "wear a ring" and that I'd miss it.

Our training coordinator brought the following two resources to my attention, and I thought I'd share them with you all.  I know in our facility the pages are targeted as they tend to be younger and more often alone in the stacks.

Stop sexual harassment in Your library is from American Libraries Magazine's November 2017 edition https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2017/11/01/stop-sexual-harassment-your-library/

Here are slides and handouts are from a presentation that Waukegen IL Public Library gave at ALA annual conference  2017. http://www.waukeganpl.org/alaac17

Thank you for your time, and it was great seeing a number of you at CLA.

Jenn
