Negro spirituals were songs created by enslaved Africans in the 16th-19th centuries to express their deep spirituality and hope for freedom despite hardship. The songs had characteristics like simple melodies that repeated, slow tempos, and emotional lyrics. They became popular in the 1860s when the Fisk Jubilee Singers performed them. Important figures who helped spread the genre included composer Harry T. Burleigh and singer Roland Hayes in the late 19th/early 20th century. The spirituals provided hope and strength to endure difficult conditions of slavery.
During the early 20th century, many African Americans migrated north in what was known as the Great Migration. This was partly due to seeking escape from oppression in the south as well as job opportunities from northern industrialization. This migration led to the rise of blues music and the Harlem Renaissance, where genres like jazz flourished. Major performers who influenced music during this time included Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and artists who performed at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem. Rent parties also provided opportunities for musicians to perform and help tenants pay rent. The new forms of African American music helped change perceptions and gave greater respect and opportunities to the community during this period.
Jazz originated in New Orleans in the late 19th century, developing from African rhythms played in Congo Square. Ragtime, with its syncopated rhythms, evolved into early jazz.

Bebop arose in the 1940s as a reaction against swing, led by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Jazz has continued evolving, exploring rock fusion and many other styles over the decades.

Burleigh went on to arrange over 100 spirituals and compose over 200 original art songs. He had a successful career as a singer, music editor, and composer, becoming the first African American on the board of directors of ASCAP. Burleigh helped establish the spiritual as an American musical genre and promote appreciation of African American music.
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement that took place in Harlem, New York in the 1920s-1930s. It featured a flourishing of African American art, music, theater, and literature. Some of the most prominent figures included Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald in jazz music, Langston Hughes in poetry, and Zora Neale Hurston and Claude McKay in literature. The movement celebrated African American identity and promoted racial pride and cultural nationalism in response to the social injustices of the time.

This is a tongue-in-cheek training about workplace etiquette. The concepts covered are common sense, but some may benefit from humorous reminders and scenarios about how the little things matter in the workplace.
You love your job, your organization, and your community. But there can still be days when you feel like you have nothing left to give. If at the end of the day you feel drained, or irritated, or both, you may have “compassion fatigue.” Compassion fatigue, also known as secondary traumatic stress (STS), is a condition characterized by a gradual lessening of compassion over time. This session will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment. Explore ways to take care of yourself so you can continue to show compassion and give your patrons the care they need.
“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”
Anyone who works with others is very likely to be a party to some disagreements on occasion but conflict doesn’t have to be a bad thing. This training focuses on ways library staff can work with patrons and co-workers to resolve conflict in the workplace and empower them to manage the stress resulting from conflict.
1. Libraries need a strategic plan to guide their future and ensure their survival and growth. The director needs to educate trustees and staff, conduct research, and draft the plan with goals, strategies, and budgets. Trustees establish the planning process and support community involvement.
2. Developing a strategic plan involves gathering information from stakeholders, creating a vision and mission statement, setting goals and strategies, and outlining budgets, timelines, and evaluations.
3. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan allows the library to check progress towards goals and make adjustments based on changes in priorities or resources.
