Webinar: Welcoming All: Inclusivity in Library Spaces

Originally presented January 14, 2026

Libraries have long been known as places for everyone, but does your building really feel welcoming to all potential users? Inclusivity and equity in a library’s physical space are not just about accessibility in terms of mobility, vision, and hearing, but also for diversity related to gender and sensory abilities. Awareness of current conditions and trends is the first step.

Join Lauren Stara for ideas to help libraries assess and improve their environment in ways that promote equity, well-being, and health. Lauren will discuss small, inexpensive changes as well as more substantial long-term planning.
