The Collaborative Summer Library Program Inclusion Committee is in the process of developing resources to assist libraries in their efforts to support diversity and inclusion.
https://www.cslpreads.org/inclusion-resources/
Registration opens November 14.
November 22, 2 pm CST
Examine statistics related to discrimination within libraries/schools and risks that LGBTQIA+ youth face on a day-to-day basis in their communities, then discuss ways that library professionals can improve the general climate of libraries and summer reading programs through various strategies from simple word choice to organizational policy change. An interactive safe space for all of your questions will be moderated by a CSLP Inclusion Committee member following the presentation portion. Digital resource handouts will be provided.
Outcomes:
· Participants will learn about implicit bias, the complexity and depth of gender, and explanation of acronyms.
· Participants will be given strategies to create a welcoming environment in their Library and their Library’s summer reading program for LGBTQIA+ youth.
