RA For All Roadshow Visits Ontario Library Association's RA in A Day

Today I am proud to be the keynote speaker at a full day conference for "Readers' Advisory Advocates" [I love that phrase by the way] sponsored by the Ontario [Canada] Library Association. Called RA in a Day, this annual event has moved to a virtual platform this year. 

I am presenting Actively Anti-Racist Service to Leisure Readers. I am extra excited to present this program for OLA because as you can see below, they aren't just talking the talk on EDI and Anti-Racist issues; they are working hard to improve in every way. Seriously, look at the programs they scheduled.
