Good Morning,

I am working on my next editorial for the School Library Connection Reading  page and my topic is Developing Culturally Relevant and Critical Collections (working title). I am reading a very interesting book and found a talk from the author  via YouTube on the book and topic! Wanted to share since it is a very important topic and timely!!

I was also thinking that this could be an interesting book club title for CASL (maybe a joint event with CRA and/or CT--CTE) at some point and was curious if anyone would be interested in participating. This is just a seed idea right now but I will work on putting something together if there is interest.

Have a great week!!
