Professional Development - ALA Midwinter and NNLM Preconference

I will attend the sessions "The Role of Libraries in Addressing Homelessness and Poverty" and "Libraries and Open Enrollment." The conference will also provide opportunities to learn and share best practices, network, and increase my knowledge of trends in library and social services. My branch South Philadelphia Library has a health focus so I will certainly benefit from the preconference which will deepen my understanding of issues surrounding health literacy and equity. I also look forward to connecting with colleagues who are working in similar arenas to share ideas.
