2023
In 2023, for our first event, Karina Hagelin (they/them) presented on Communities of Care: accessible libraries through trauma-informed frameworks and radical empathy, with themes of disability, accessibility, and the importance of collaboration.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, which enabled us to offer this event free of charge to advance accessibility for all people in British Columbia.
