Do you want to ensure that your library’s collections are diverse, equitable, inclusive—and well-read?
Live Interactive Sessions: Tuesdays: November 5, 12, & 19 from 2-4 PM ET. Plus, additional self-guided materials and bonus content. Can’t make a live session? No worries. All sessions will be available to you “on-demand” following the initial broadcast.
In this course from Library Journal and School Library Journal, you’ll hear from an outstanding group of experts who will guide you through evaluating books and media with an inclusive lens.
We’ll explore key concepts essential to cultivating and promoting inclusive and equitable collections, such as the experiences of LGBTQIA people, Native people, people of color, people with disabilities, non-binary or gender non-conforming people and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.
As part of the course you will conduct a diversity audit and learn how to include diverse books, wider perspectives, #ownvoices, and how to be more responsive to the community you serve.

"The term 'privilege' comes up constantly in discussion of current issues. This course helped clarify what privilege means in the context of library service, and how it impacts our collections and services. Insights gained here will influence my approach to materials selection, marketing strategies, and program offerings in our library. I recommend the course!"
—Ann Cooper
Head Librarian
