SUMMARY:Minimum Standards for Libraries - Policy Development for Public Usage of Library Space and Meeting Rooms
DESCRIPTION:As libraries are increasingly referenced as "third places\," 
 it's important to have policies in place to guide the use of meeting rooms 
 and other spaces within our buildings. Article VI of the Library Bill of 
 Rights states that such facilities should be made available to the public 
 served by the given library "on an equitable basis\, regardless of the 
 beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use." 
 Developing these policies will help library staff and volunteers uphold the 
 First Amendment and the Library Bill of Rights\, while ensuring that access 
 to library spaces is provided in a fair\, equitable\, and consistent 
 manner. \n\nPresenters:  \n\nErika Jenns\, she/her \n\nErika Jenns is the 
 Assistant Director - Director of Librarianship at the Southern Tier Library

 region in Upstate New York. Erika works with libraries on policy 
 development\, library administration and governance\, and funding. She also 
 coordinates professional development opportunities for all library system 
 members. A passionate library advocate\, Erika attends NY Library Advocacy 
 Day annually\, champions the work of rural public libraries year-round\,

 Amendment rights. #LibrariesAreForEveryone \n\nBrian M. Hildreth\, he/him
