Join us and complete a collection audit in this transformative online workshop and guest speaker program! | Library collections must be diverse and inclusive, offering windows into, and reflections of the vast array of people, stories and experiences that make up our world. In this course, you’ll learn from an outstanding group of experts as they explore key concepts essential to cultivating and promoting inclusive and equitable collections. You’ll conduct a diversity and inclusion audit of your collections, and hear about ways to include wider perspectives from and about LGBTQIA people, Black, indigenous, and people of color, and historically underrepresented ethnicities, cultures, and religions. You’ll learn how to ensure that your collections are more reflective of the diversity of your community and the larger world. | Kymberlee Powe (she, her) Children and YA Consultant, Connecticut State Library Division of Library Development | Jennifer Baker (she, her) Writer, Editor, Advocate, and Founder, Minorities in Publishing podcast | Carson Williams (he, him) Collection Development Librarian, Cornell University (NY) | Check out the full speaker roster here. | Our courses are perfect for your team!
