This Friday is another in the series of Dr. Steve Albrecht's webinars, "Team Success: Better Results Through Focused Team Building, Internal Support, Clear Communication, and Conflict Resolution." More information can be found below or online here.
We've also just posted a new Dr. Albrecht blog post in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0: "Gang Problems in the Library: A Rare But Challenging Security Concern."
...More likely, gang members will meet at the library because it is perceived as a safe place, or is "neutral territory," a building in between gang neighborhood jurisdictional lines. Most often, gang members see the library as an easy place they can steal from; mark, tag, paint, etch, or scratch their gang name, street nicknames, colors, or monikers into the walls, restrooms, or into materials; sell drugs; recruit new members; or intimidate other kids or adults. Their usual interactions with library staff can range from neutral to polite, to harassing and threatening....
Gangs have infiltrated every state, most cities, and even many small towns. Pay attention to what you see and get help to address it, safely and early.

Part of a special Library 2.0 series with Dr. Steve Albrecht
OVERVIEW:
A 60-minute training webinar presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by ALA author and library service, safety, and security expert, Dr. Steve Albrecht.
There are four core themes to team success in the library environment:
- We take care of each other here. Team-building is about focusing on creating and applying the tools and techniques that individual employees and workgroups need to be successful.
- Our library will not tolerate behaviors from employees, managers, or supervisors that can harm a functioning, productive team, create a hostile work environment, or make it difficult for our co-workers to do their work safely and successfully. Bosses need to step in and initiate solutions when employees or teams are not getting along, using a structured process.
- We have external service relationships with our patrons and internal service relationships with our co-workers, and both are important and need to be maintained and balanced throughout our workday. However, sometimes the internal service focus doesn’t get much attention until there are problems with our workgroups.
- Even high-functioning teams need guidance, support, and reminders to help them meet, work, problem-solve, and thrive. The tools from this webinar can help.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Defining our teamwork culture in the library. What makes a successful team?
- An employee conflict resolution process for managers and supervisors.
- The four-step process to set team Ground Rules.
- Using direct, non-personal, immediate feedback, not criticism.
- Developing a personal behavioral motto.
- The need for Social Intelligence.
- Using the P.I.N. tool for more productive meetings (What’s Positive-Interesting-Negative?).
- Using the Keep/Stop/Start exercise to grow group success.
- The power of praise.
