SUMMARY:Building Inclusive Collections
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\nThis workshop will explore best practices for 
 building and promoting inclusive collections\; from selecting literature to 
 incorporating diverse titles in displays and programs\, to conducting 
 equity audits. Participants will learn how movements such as 
 #WeNeedDiverseBooks have informed a movement to diversify publishing\, and 
 how to use resources to aid in equitable collection management.\n\nLearning 
 Outcomes\n\nAs a result of this workshop\, participants will be able 
 to:\n\n\n	Identify three resources for supporting inclusive collection 
 development.\n	Analyze a text according to principles of inclusive and 
 diverse literature.\n	Create one goal for a future display or program that 
 promotes inclusivity in their community.\n\n\n\nHow will I be 
 participating?\n\nDuring this in-person workshop\, expect frequent\, active 
 participation for maximum impact! Collaborate with peers through the use of 
 breakout groups and hands-on activities.\n\n\nLocation\n\nThis workshop
