ACL Meeting Friday, June 14, 2024: Just a quick reminder for our Bay Area members! Please join us for our ACL Meeting on Friday, June 14, 2024, from 9:30am-Noon, over Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent out by email to our members by our President Caroline Davis.This meeting was originally scheduled to meet in person, but it has been changed to a Zoom meeting.
For our professional development session, we will have a presentation on Diversity Audits: Embracing data-driven stories for all. Diversity can be a giant, overwhelming concept, but by creating a diversity audit framework for your library, you can prioritize manageable projects that enable you to evaluate whether you are truly reflecting the lives and stories of everyone in your community. We’ll walk step-by-step through the diversity audit process, with plenty of real library examples.
Our presenter will be Chelsey Roos (they/them), a children’s librarian with the Santa Clara County Library District. Chelsey uses their lived experience as an autistic adult and disability advocate to support libraries in creating truly neuro-inclusive, joyful public spaces.
We will also hear about the latest Outstanding books that are reviewed, and our Distinguished books.
