Now you're talking! Mediation training ...hmmm. Who offers the training? Is
this online or, in person. This would indeed be a valuable service to staff.
Are there resources available to patrons through your catalog or, online
properties discussing discernment/assessment of information displays,
online resources ...etc? I see opportunities here as it fits in with the
mission of libraries [ a rabbit hole of a topic by itself ].
I went through the wikipedia articles and most of a book on logical
fallacies a few months ago ..the poster is a nice refresher ...and tasteful!
Speaking of which ...for the posters, try here:

Great ideas, Thanks!
