This event has passed.

WebJunction offered another special session to provide you with the opportunity to share questions and experiences about how your library is assisting patrons facing eviction. We covered the basics in the webinar Understanding Eviction and How Libraries Can Help, and addressed some of your questions in the follow-up session, Libraries and Eviction: Continuing the Conversation but we know there’s more to talk about as the eviction situation continues to evolve. Whether you’re just beginning this work or have been answering eviction questions, you are absolutely welcome! We began with a short presentation about the partnership between Richland Library (SC) and the NAACP, where library staff serve as housing navigators, playing a triage role in the housing instability crisis in their area. Following the presentation, experts from law libraries and legal aid answered your eviction questions.  

Joining the conversation:

  • Lee Patterson, Social Work Director at Richland Library (SC)
  • Joe Schottenfeld, Assistant General Counsel, NAACP
  • Deb Hamilton, Strategic Services Librarian - Law Collection, Pikes Peak Library District (CO)
  • Ranya Ahmed, Research Associate, Legal Services Corporation
  • Madeline Youngren, Project Coordinator and Analyst, Legal Services Corporation
