To add onto our conversations from CLC PD yesterday, here is a link to Paul's letter to the community, https://www.guilfordps.org/ourdirection/archive/march2023.jsp

This is an amazing link to a NJ school reconsideration form. It's SO great- I wish every school had something this detailed- it's A LOT of work for the person wanting to challenge a book.

Here is the slideshow that goes along with the reconsideration form,

Subject: [CASL-L] BOE Book Policy

Can anyone send me their BOE policy on book challenges?  OR an exemplar they particularly like?


It looks like the CLC PD day did the trick!


I just happened to catch my principal and superintendent together and they asked me to start with my fellow librarians.


It probably also helps that they both know Dr. Freeman.


Anyway, if you have something you think is worth looking at, please send it my way.


Thanks,

Matt

Our third Library 2.023 mini-conference: "EDI 2.0: Individual Responsibility for Creating Belonging and Connection in the Library Profession," will be held online (and for free) on Thursday, November 9th, 2023, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm US-Pacific Time.

In our fall Library 2.023 mini-conference we explore the evolution of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) efforts within the library profession, focusing on how libraries can help to create belongingness and meaningful connection and what individuals, specifically, can do to help make change.

EDI principles and their practical implementation have a profound impact on the cultural fabric of libraries and the relationships we have with users and staff. This event will showcase strategies that libraries employ to cultivate and integrate into their services a profound sense of belongingness, as well as the ways that library leadership is crucial in fostering an environment of inclusion and meaningful connection.

We will also look at the integration of EDI standards into the core of library services, enhancing inclusivity within the Library and Information Science (LIS) community, and discuss the growing integration of EDI into accreditation standards and professional competencies and the broader implications this holds for the future of the library profession.

Our special conference chair is Julius C. Jefferson, Current Chair of the International Federation of Library Associations & Institutions (IFLA), North American Regional Division, and Past President of the American Library Association (ALA).

We look forward to gathering online with you for this event!

This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded.
REGISTER HERE
to attend live and/or to receive the recording links afterward.
Please also join the Library 2.0 community to be kept updated on this and future events.
