November 2017

Greetings,
 In working to partially fulfill the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion’s charge of promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership, here is another of our periodic emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about issues surrounding diversity, inclusion, and social justice. While we know we can’t be comprehensive, we do our best to collect timely resources on library-related issues and share those every few weeks. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.
Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone
Chair, ILA Ad Hoc Committee for Diversity & Inclusion

Greetings,
Here is another installment of the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion Resource Round-up. We’re working on promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership. I’ve included the link to this year’s fall ILA Conference resources page where the theme was Seeking Inclusion, Finding Success. I highly encourage you to check out that link to see what your colleagues around Iowa are doing to engage with these issues. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.
Sincerely,

August 2017

Greetings,
 As many communities in Iowa prepare to return to school and classes, we thought we’d send out another August message with links, many of which examine ways teachers, parents, and community members can address current events in our nation. As always, if you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.
Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone

March 2017

Greetings, 
 As mentioned in our previous email, ILA's Committee for Diversity & Inclusion working to partially fulfill our charge of promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership. One piece of that is sending out periodic emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about issues surrounding diversity, inclusion, and social justice. While we know we can’t be comprehensive, we will do our best to collect timely resources on library-related issues and share those every few weeks. We are still working to find our rhythm in regards to frequency, and for now will employ a less-is-more approach (to be mindful of ever-bursting email inboxes). This installment presents resources from ALA, podcasts, blogs, newspapers, and other media. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate. 

 Sincerely, 
Cara B. Stone

 In working to partially fulfill the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion’s charge of promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership, we will be sending out periodic emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about issues surrounding diversity, inclusion, and social justice.

We are still working to find our rhythm in regards to frequency, and for now will employ a less-is-more approach (because I don’t know anyone who has expressed a desire for more emails in their inbox). In this inaugural installment, we’ve gathered resources from ALA, podcasts, and other media. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.

 Sincerely,
