Subject: [Libs-Or] Apply to attend Libraries Leading with Equity: Operationalizing EDI Efforts


Greetings Library Community!

After the success of last spring’s Operationalizing EDI Efforts cohort, the State Library is pleased to fund another round in October 2024. This cohort is completely online, incorporating learning focused on equity work at an organizational level and builds on your personal learning from the original Libraries Leading with Equity cohorts as well as providing time and space to connect with one another.

This a course designed for those ready to move beyond a basic understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion, through engaging in a robust, capacity-building learning opportunity and will be led by Christina Fuller-Gregory<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted/leadingwithequity#s-lib-ctab-33174784-1>.

This comprehensive fully online course is for:

  *   those who have completed a previously offered Libraries Leading with Equity cohort
  *   library workers who hope to lead internal EDI efforts
  *   administrators who want to be more deeply embedded in EDI work
  *   organizations hoping to integrate more advanced EDI principles into their strategic planning processes.

This online training will provide opportunities for participants to learn, practice, and apply the concepts of EDI through an organizational lens. Using a model that integrates both presentation and group engagement throughout the course, participants will begin to develop an organizational narrative to support EDI initiatives.  Moving from the tangible knowledge gained in Libraries Leading with Equity, participants will be challenged to begin or sustain a strong equity practice in their organizations.

Sessions include:

  *   Module 1: Understanding Your Organizational Identity
Tuesday, October 1, 12:00p - 4:00p via Zoom
  *   Module 2: Holistic EDI: Beyond Numbers and Behaviors
Tuesday, October 8, 12:00p - 4:00p via Zoom
  *   Module 3: The Power, Privilege, and Oppression Continuum and Organizational Change
Tuesday, October 22, 12:00p - 4:00p via Zoom
  *   Module 4: Tell Them Who You Are: Developing Strong EDI Internal Messaging
Tuesday, October 29, 12:00p - 4:00p via Zoom

If you are unable or not willing to agree to attending all four afternoon sessions online, please be kind and leave a seat or place for someone else.

Oregon library staff at all levels from public, school, and academic libraries are welcome. In recognition of the essential role they play in small libraries, key library volunteers may apply to attend. Although this course is a continuation of the lessons learned during the initial Libraries Leading with Equity cohorts, all interested library workers are encouraged to apply.

Applications<http://forms.gle/8udjcaJRdYsLh4SE8> are due by Monday, September 23; space is limited to 25 participants and later applications may be placed on a waitlist.
