Sex Ed. and Public Libraries: A Conversation with Rakisha Kearns-White and Cory Silverberg, 10am – 12pm PST

In this workshop we’ll focus on what sex education may look like in libraries.  Through conversation and activities, Cory and Rakisha Kearns-White, a senior YA librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library will explore what’s possible, what challenges we can anticipate, and ways of addressing them.  Rakisha will share her experiences creating programming about bodies, menstruation, and sexuality, including the popular Cycle Alliance.
