Califa Group will prepare public library staff to effectively respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by developing training modules and microlearning videos that enable library staff to:
- Identify key partners, programs and resources available within the COVID-19 support network in their communities;
- Strategically position the public library within those networks;
- Develop an understanding of how the long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put vulnerable people, including racial & ethnic minority groups, at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19,
- Assess the critical needs of these groups in order to recover from the pandemic.
The Courses
Each course can be taken by itself, or you can jump in and complete all six.
Hi, we are Califa +Infopeople!

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services RE-248569-OLS-20.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums. We advance, support, and empower America's museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development. IMLS envisions a nation where individuals and communities have access to museums and libraries to learn from and be inspired by the trusted information, ideas, and stories they contain about our diverse natural and cultural heritage.
