Many libraries are committed to DEI initiatives, but may be trying to implement them in ways that lack strategy or specificity. The ALA states that diversity plans are important for demonstrating that diversity is integral to our libraries, but many libraries may not know where, or how, to start. In this session led by Julie Edwards from Niche Academy, we'll cover why your library should have a diversity plan and how you can take steps to draft one. We will focus on concepts, like why it is important to make the language in your plan explicit, as well as practices, like how to craft action items that will guide the direction of your library. Participants will leave with practical information they can use in their libraries. Suitable for all types of librarians.

Julie Edwards is an instructional designer with Niche Academy and a librarian with 16 years' experience in public and academic libraries. She chaired the committee that drafted and administered the first diversity plan at the  Mansfield Library at the University of Montana, and has written and researched on developing diversity plans in academic and public libraries.Julie taught at the University of Botswana Department of Library and Information Studies as part of a Fulbright Fellowship from 2017-2019. She has authored/edited two books, written numerous articles and book chapters, and presented locally, nationally, and internationally. She received her MSLIS from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and holds an MA in English Literature.
