#125: Do a diversity audit (even a small one)
Lots of libraries are working on doing diversity audits of their collections. The American Library Association has a good starting point article here: https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2020/09/how-to-conduct-a-diversity-audit/. If a full collection audit isn’t feasible for you at the moment, do a scaled-down version in an area you can influence. Maybe it’s not collection items—maybe it’s who is featured on the flyers and marketing materials that your library has produced in the last three months, or what characters have been showcased in the last 10 storytime books you used, or what posters you have on the wall in your teen section. There is somewhere in your library where you can evaluate how you are doing on representation.
