Join ALA's Public Programs Office and ProgrammingLibrarian.org for a free webinar, "Civil Rights and a Civil Society: A Library-Law Enforcement Partnership," at 1 p.m. CST on Wednesday, Dec. 7.

The webinar will explore how Nashville (Tenn.) Public Library has partnered with local law enforcement agencies to develop an innovative public program series that uses history as a gateway to productive, critical conversations on race, policing and human rights.

Nashville Public Library's program, Civil Rights and a Civil Society: Civil Rights Training for Nashville Enforcement Agencies and Beyond, originated in 2015 as a partnership between the library and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department for new officer trainees. It has since expanded to include Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents, garnering interest from other agencies and communities across the country.

Note that the webinar will be recorded; the archived version will be available, free of charge, at www.programminglibrarian.org/learn<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/learn>.
