Join us for another session in our Libraries Working with Vulnerable Patrons series, led by New York State Library Excelsior Service Fellow Antonia Bruno. Sessions in this series are structured as guided conversations on various topics and circumstances that participants are interested in exploring. These programs will be dialogue heavy and serve as a safe space and trustworthy environment for participants to share their stories in a meaningful way. 

Antonia will incorporate social work perspectives into the conversations to shape the manner that participants will process their experiences and how it will impact their behaviors in the library moving forward. This space will be a collaborative environment where participants and the host will hear and learn from one another. 

Antonia Bruno is a social worker with previous employment as a social services advocate at a public library on Long Island. At the NYS Library, she aims to reach library staff across the state with a webinar series that supports libraries serving vulnerable and often marginalized populations.
