SUMMARY:CSLP Summer Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join CSLP for ideas about the 2026 theme. The slogan\, Unearth a Story\,tm was chosen to align with this theme in a way that invites layered interpretation. Whether readers are digging into a good book\, uncovering hidden histories\, or exploring the past\, the slogan underscores the joy of discovery that reading brings. It also emphasizes that every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared—through books\, programs\, and local knowledge. \n  \nRegistration coming in October.

SUMMARY:Creating a Sharing Culture by Setting Clear Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Every organization has a culture with spoken and unspoken “rules”. These “rules” include how much we are expected to share of our personal lives outside of work. This interactive workshop will provide participants with insight into your library’s culture of sharing and create space for you to identify how and where you fit into its culture-building efforts. With increased sharing comes greater responsibility-to feedback. Who is empowered to give feedback and set boundaries on what they are willing or unwilling to share? How do these boundaries look peer to peer and across power differentials e.g.\, supervisor to employee? Can pressuring our colleagues to share their personal stories create dysfunction on the team-or make it stronger? We will introduce and discuss several practical models and participants will leave with additional resources to practice and explore. \nPresenter Bio: Mike Bishop Ph.D. is an educator and coach who has facilitated interactive workshops with a focus on human development\, human rights\, and human dignity for 25 years. He is a Freeville resident who organizes with his White neighbors against White supremacy through his activism\, research\, teaching\, and writing. Originally from a small town in western New York\, he spent seven years as a youth counselor leading adventure-based activities. He then worked in higher education for more than 20 years leading workshops\, creating campus-community partnerships\, facilitating dialogues across differences\, and designing social action leadership programs. Mike works with stories to nurture anti-racist allies\, growing social movements to challenge policies that dehumanize Black\, Indigenous\, and other people of color in rural New York state. He currently serves as the managing director of the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative.

SUMMARY:Maintaining Nonviolent Communication in Challenging Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Principles of nonviolent communication can allow us to maintain an “even keel” even when we are confronted by patrons who make demands contrary to our values. While rare\, we can prepare for patron demands to ban books and grievances over events and displays that celebrate historically marginalized peoples. In this workshop we will explore how focusing on our mindsets and sphere of influence can help us maintain empathetic understanding of patrons and express ourselves without blame or criticism-even when we might not receive this same treatment. In this interactive session participants will explore myths behind dominant styles of communication. All will be invited to share both their worst experiences and our dreams of success. How can we provide support to our co-workers in their difficult moments? Can FLLS organizational commitments create courageous space for us to act with empathy and integrity? Participants will walk away with an expanded toolkit for maintaining a calm exterior and resources for continuing practice. \nPresenter Bio: Mike Bishop Ph.D. is an educator and coach who has facilitated interactive workshops with a focus on human development\, human rights\, and human dignity for 25 years.
