This multifaceted online course combines foundational learning on diverse and equitable selection with a deeper dive into programming, hiring, and organizational culture. Join the editors of LJ and SLJ, industry experts, and exemplary library leaders in a three-week online course!

Equity in Action:
Taking Your Library's Diversity and Inclusion
Initiatives to the Next Level

October 3-17 2019

To support deeper learning and fuel your library’s initiatives around diversity, equity, and inclusion, this course features live guest speakers in three interactive sessions, plus self-guided homework, videos, and actionable resources and readings. Additionally, earn an "Equity in Action" certificate of completion and learn how to:

• Evaluate current library collections and displays through a culturally competent lens in order to assess gaps in collections and service areas
• Recognize common problematic stereotypes, tropes, and microaggressions in media
• Assess your library's services and institutional culture through an equity lens
• Develop library programming that is equitable and inclusive
• Ensure that your library's resources and services are accessible to a wide range of users

I look forward to welcoming you onto the course!
