A parent-peer worker Q&A on making your library more inclusive
Meet Libraries as Community Connectors team members Marie and Kylie and discuss any questions or concerns about including children with developmental delay and disability in your library programs.
Marie is raising a child with developmental delays or disability and enjoy visiting libraries with their families. As trained parent peer workers at Plumtree, they liaise with parents and carers, develop and facilitate programs, and collaborate with the team to provide support for families.
This workshop is a safe space for discussion and sets up a community of practice for library staff across Australia.
Learning outcomes:
- Topics to explore include:
- Different scenarios to enhance inclusion in your library programs
- Information that families have shared with us in our surveys
- Opportunities for libraries to share information on what they’re doing well
