Library Lifelines: Building Community Resilience in Uncertain Times
This 12-month LITT chat series showcases how libraries can become essential community hubs during economic uncertainty, covering practical programming from job seeker support and digital skills training to food security initiatives like budget cooking classes and community gardens. Each month, library professionals and partners will share actionable strategies for addressing real community needs—from repair cafes and grant writing workshops to health information literacy and creative space utilization—demonstrating how libraries can transform challenges into opportunities for meaningful community impact. During this chat, we will discuss how to support aging community members.
