Learning + Everyone + Community

We learn from each other

As library maker staff we are in a constant state of learning and growth. Because we don’t know everything, we want to offer a network to share knowledge, resources, and mentorship. Members are open and supportive of different approaches to learning.

Library Makers is a place for everyone no matter their race and ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identification, socioeconomic status, age or physical or mental ability. We treat members fairly and respectfully. People are valued based on distinctive skills, experience, and perspective. We recognize and embrace the uniqueness of each individual and their contributions to the collective. 

We make sure our meetings and events are accessible to all members of the community. We come together as professionals regardless of position or titles in support of learning and each other. This is a work in progress and will continue to adapt to the needs of its members as we grow and the world around us changes.
