Legal Issues & Reopening: The Saga Continues

Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 1:00 – 2:30pm

Many libraries are now months deep into their process of re-opening. What have we learned? What have we had to re-tool?

In this 90 minute webinar, Stephanie Adams will present concrete tips and legal guidance based on our experiences to date, including: use of signage, de-escalating legal threats, reliance on CDC and OSHA guidance, and use of policy and law to support thoughtful operations.

In order to make this as helpful as possible, attendees are welcome to share not only their questions, but real examples of challenges they are facing! The deadline to submit questions or issues during registration is July 22nd.

Speaker: 

Stephanie (nickname: Cole) Adams is an attorney advising libraries, creative professionals, civic organizations, and higher education institutions as they build our culture. She first developed a deep connection to libraries working as a page, then clerk, at her hometown library in New Hartford, NY. For over 10 years, Ms. Adams was the in-house counsel at Niagara University, where she routinely conducted trainings in discrimination and workplace respect. She is now the owner of her own practice, the Law Office of Stephanie Adams, PLLC, in Buffalo. Ms. Adams is admitted to practice in both the state and federal courts of New York (and you may be familiar with her work…Cole staffs WNYLRC’s “Ask the Lawyer” service).

Free to RRLC & ESLN Members. This webinar will be held on Zoom; registration is required.

All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for one hour and 30 minutes of CE credit.
