Topic: Libraries
Though retailers usually dominate the conversation about the business of books and literature, libraries are key in discussions about literacy, literature, and diversity. Use the #DiverseCanLit tag to follow along on Twitter (or TweetChat). Below are a few of the questions we may cover:
- What is the importance of libraries in marginalized communities/to marginalized people?
- How do libraries who serve marginalized groups differ from those that serve predominantly privileged people?
- What obstacles do librarians face when advocating for diversity and equity?
