Featured Course: How To Build an Antiracist Library Culture
Through this course, you’ll learn about the concrete actions library leaders are taking to help cultivate an antiracist, inclusive library culture—from examining the impacts of implicit bias, to evaluating spaces, programs, and services and examining policies and practices through an antiracist lens—to ensure that there is a shared value of antiracism at the library.
When you attend this interactive online course, you’ll gain the tools to:
Evaluate your current EDI practices to engage in more authentic self-reflection and self-assessment
Recognize key diversity and cultural literacy concepts such as white privilege, unconscious bias, cultural appropriation, and intersectionality
Assess current library programs, staffing, hiring, equity statements, and more through a culturally competent, antiracist lens
Recognize problematic stereotypes, tropes, acts of implicit/explicit bias, and microaggressions
Engage in an equity-focused project that you initiate, define, and work on in a group workshop with asynchronous, written feedback from a group facilitator
