Because I have made updates to the page recently and to counter the "DEI Hire" narrative that is out in the would right now, I wanted to remind you all that Robin and I have an entire class on the topic of why systemic racism is a thing and how we, a profession of mostly white women, are responsible for upholding it in our collections and service to readers.
We offer tangible advice about how to provide inclusive service to your patrons using the same exact skills you already employ.
We can come to your conference or present for your state library. However, one of the biggest challenges we have to bringing this training to those who need it most is that many states are not allowed to hire us because of the title of the program.
To all of you we want to say this: If you want this training to be made available to your library workers despite a climate where this training is not allowed, we will work with you to do whatever it takes to get it to you.

RA for All will be off until Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
