[Libs-Or] Reminder: August Topic Talk - Centering Race in Library Reopening: Opportunities for Systems Change

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

Just a quick reminder about August's Topic Talk next week:

August 7 at 10:00 am, "Centering Race in Library Reopening: Opportunities for Systems Change" sponsored by the Public Library Division and in partnership with the State Library of Oregon.

Sonja Ervin, Equity and Inclusion Manager at Multnomah County Library, will talk about the work and progress Multnomah County Library has made with diversity, equity, and inclusion. She will also include things you can do at your library, no matter the size of your library. There will be time for questions and answers after her presentation. This presentation is free for all in the library community, and will be recorded for viewing at a later date.

Please note the following community agreements will be observed during this topic talk:

  *   Progressive Stacking: If you choose to identify as a PoC, please add "**" (two asterisks) in front of your "Zoom" name (you will see three dots as you hover over your video image/box, you can use the "rename" feature to add two asterisks). Chat questions by PoC will be taken first.
  *   Put relationships first: Work to build community, trust, and awareness
  *   Keep focused on the common goal: Caring about equity and inclusion, especially for those most impacted
  *   Notice the power dynamics in the space: How are you using your privilege? How are you taking up emotional space or airtime? Disengaging?
  *   Create a space for multiple truths and norms: Think about a statue
  *   Be kind and brave: Remember relationships first, speak your truth and be open to feedback, especially from those who own the experience
  *   Get OK with being uncomfortable
  *   Look and listen for learning
