Subject: [alacro-l] ALA Committee on Diversity Seeks Feedback on Libraries as Responsible Spaces


At the 2017 Annual Conference of the American Library Association, the ALA Council adopted a Resolution on Libraries as Responsible Spaces<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiA7Peh8vXXAhUJ8GMKHYBKBc8QFggqMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.ala.org%2Ffiles%2FResolution%2520on%2520Libraries%2520as%2520Responsible%2520Spaces%2520FINAL.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2f6zVfsXaybbEYhl9czJr4> and charged the Committee on Diversity to “develop, provide, and disseminate materials and programming for libraries that deter hate, foster community, and oppose bigotry toward or oppression against any group.”


The committee has developed a survey to help determine what materials, programming, and other resources related to responsible spaces would be most useful to libraries.  Feedback, input, and guidance is appreciated as the committee begins to develop these resources.


All interested individuals are asked to Please take the survey at:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/responsiblespace


Please also disseminate the survey within your networks as you see fit.


The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and closes on Friday, January 12th.  Any questions can be directed to diversity at ala.org<mailto:diversity at ala.org>.
