Hi everyone,

While working on our middle school library budgets for next year,
the Newington middle school LMSs would love to get some information about
the middle school libraries in our DRG to help us advocate for our
program's needs. Our major focus is equity and building libraries that
better represent the diversity within our schools.

DRG D includes:
Berlin, Bethel, Branford, Clinton, Colchester, Cromwell, East Granby, East
Hampton, East Lyme, Ledyard, Milford, Newington (us!), New Milford, North
Haven, Old Saybrook, Rocky Hill, Shelton, Southington, Stonington,
Wallingford, Waterford, Watertown, Wethersfield, and Windsor.

We are looking to find out some basic info from your Titlewise reports:

   - Your average collection age
   - Your collection size
   - Your items per student
   - Your % of diverse titles
      - # of titles falling into African American, Latinx/Hispanic, First
      Nations, Asian American categories

We really appreciate any information you'd be willing to share with us! You
can email us directly as opposed to sharing with the entire ListServ. Your
responses will only be used to get a baseline for us to use as comparison
data; we will not publish or share your district name or numbers outside
our department and our administration.

Thank you,
Nicole Guillet at John Wallace Middle School (nguillet at npsct.org)
and
Nicole Daigle at Martin Kellogg Middle School (ndaigle at npsct.org)
