April 2019


Greetings,

Periodically, the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion shares resources on issues relating to diversity and inclusion. Here is another of our emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about 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
