July 2022

 Hello from ILA’s Committee for Diversity and Inclusion!

Each month our committee sends out a list of resources focused on topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We hope you find these useful, and if you come across anything that falls under the diversity and inclusion umbrella that you feel might be helpful or interesting for library staff across Iowa, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to include them in our Resource Roundup or to otherwise share them out as appropriate.

There are several great upcoming and archived continuing education opportunities related to DEI topics:

August 2022 Social Justice Discussion Group - Living with a mental illness/mental health condition

Over the last month we’ve been reading, watching, and listening to resources about living with a mental illness/mental health condition. Please explore these resources with us and join us for a discussion or two. Discussions will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, August 3 at 10:00 am and Monday, August 8 at 2:00 pm (Meeting ID: 864 3832 3094, Passcode: 427944).

We would love it if you joined us for either or both discussions. The level of participation is up to you; you may actively contribute or just listen and learn.

On behalf of ILA CD&I,

Amanda Bellis
Chair, ILA Committee for Diversity and Inclusion
