All kinds of diversity in your community

Here are some ideas to share diversity with your community or your staff.

Librarians from DCLS attended the National Diversity in Libraries Conference and brought back this link to a video: http://www.ouchthatstereotypehurts.com/
If you watch the preview of the video and want to use it with your staff or think the district library center should find and use funds to purchase it, please comment below.
Here’s what one librarian had to say: “a powerful reminder of the implications of what we both say and do not say. It is expensive (about $500), but it comes with training tools that could be used with staff.”

In other news, a library in Potter County was sharing words about acceptance and diversity and got this media coverage, and much community discussion over this film: Out in the Silence.
At least one library in our district has already ordered the title, and maybe more will be adding this dvd to their local holdings and may even pursue hosting a public screening.
