Thinking Beyond Automatic Door Openers presented by WI DPI. No registration required.
Libraries generally avoid a one-size-fits-all customer service philosophy because library users have diverse needs and interests. However, anticipating and responding to special needs can yield a patchwork or panicked approach. Presenters Jolene Troia, education consultant, and Tessa Michaelson Schmidt, public library youth and special services consultant, will discuss the application of Universal Design (UD) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts in the public library setting. Using the UDL research-based framework, participants will examine how a range of library users might engage and access library spaces and services, and learn how to think about what makes your library truly welcoming to all people, beyond an automatic door opener. This webinar can benefit all public library and library system staff, especially those who work with special populations.
