Now Live!: Learn With NoveList's Actively Anti-Racist Service to Readers featuring Me and Robin!



Today is the official launch day for Learn with NoveList's first ever hybrid course and it is me and Robin! We began working on bringing this course to the world back at PLA in March. It is so satisfying and exciting to know the rest of you can now access it.

The official marketing for this course is below, but here is some real talk from me and Robin. This is everything you get from hiring Robin and I and more, for less money. Just like we advertise here, we can offer your library 2 recorded lectures sessions with us and then get us to come live for one 60-90 minute question and answer session for $1000 total [$500 to each of us]. And if you wanted to save money and just have me, that is still $350.

But with this class, you get all of that PLUS, interactive exercises and groups learning opportunities for an ENTIRE YEAR for prices starting as low as $199 a person.

Readers of this blog can use the code SPECIAL22 to get $40 off on the purchase of the course. The discount is valid from now till 31st December 2022.

This is not only the best version of our class because of the interactive elements and group learning opportunities, but it is also the cheapest way for you to learn from us

You can also click here to watch a video explaining the basics of the course featuring Robin and I.

And now, to the official NoveList marketing.

This course is for anyone who works with readers in any capacity.

Providing robust readers’ advisory service that values equity, diversity, and inclusion principles is essential to anyone working with readers. But moving from being a neutral, well-meaning organization to an actively anti-racist organization requires a deeper understanding of systemic racism.

In this course, you'll learn the action steps needed to provide actively anti-racist readers services. You'll also come away with tangible skills to build enthusiasm for reading and discovering diverse books and to incorporate Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion principles in all interactions with readers.

Here are the core skills you will learn in this course:

  • What it means to be anti-racist.
  • How to incorporate the concept of Windows, Mirrors, and Sliding Glass Doors in collection development.
  • Ability to discover, purchase, and promote diverse titles and decolonize your collection development.
  • Ten action steps your organization can take to become actively anti-racist in service to readers.
  • How to address bigotry directly in your work and interactions with community members. 

This course will take the average learner about 4 hours total to complete.

Group rates are available:

20% off for 3-25 seats

30% off for 26-49 seats

40% off for 50-99 seats
