Description
Bridgebuilding is an approach for promoting engagement and dialog between groups of people with different perspectives and experiences. Recognizing libraries as trusted community spaces, IREX, in collaboration with Shamichael Hallman and with support from More Perfect, created the Bridgebuilding Resource Hub to support and enhance the bridgebuilding capabilities of public libraries, to help combat rising levels of distrust and division in our communities. During this Tactical Solution Session, you will hear the various ways that public libraries are fostering community engagement and dialogue, as well as recommendations for potential partners and the community at large.
