We have been able to directly hear from BIPOC students what their needs and wants are from the libraries and we are able to then act upon those. It leaves them feeling empowered and we feel humbled to be able to make their voices heard to library administration. https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196368774 2022-05-23 18:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196368774 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196368776 Go slow to go fast ]]> 2022-05-23 18:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196368776 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369500 Having a difficult but constructive conversation with a marginalized group we were not serving and making changes in light of it. ]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369500 Reading Lists https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369520 Updating and creating more diverse reading lists for a variety of reading levels.]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369520 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369663 Acknowledge the work is hard]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369663 Bias in Collection Undertaking! meghan_haugevik2_1 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369744 Deconstructing Dewey...making our nonfiction more equitable and accessible for our middle grade readers!]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369744 Work in progress https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369786 Evaluating and updating our metadata practices through a DEI lens ]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369786 Kept LGBTQA book from being banned and opened up a town discussion about the lack of safety for the teens of that community https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369843 2022-05-23 18:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369843 Meet people where they’re at. https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369968 Go to churches, social service centers, community events at which you feel uncomfortable to authentically engage people different than you. ]]> 2022-05-23 18:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196369968 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196370927 Starting to build trust with diverse library users so that they feel invested in our space enough to let us know how we can do better]]> 2022-05-23 18:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196370927 https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196372485 Finding ways to clean up the catalog so people don’t find a voice of “authority” using terminology that is disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning. ]]> 2022-05-23 18:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sonyadurney/Bookmarks/wish/2196372485
