Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Youth Literature

Collection Management

All children need to see themselves and people in our world in books. Building an inclusive collection is challenging. It's more than a diversity list. It requires reflection, investigation, exploration, and analysis. Tiffeni Fontno, Head Librarian, Educational Resource Center, Boston College, will talk about diverse collection building, evaluating, and resources to acquire diverse children's literature.

Learning Objectives:

• Evaluating how cultural competency influences book selection and services
• Defining criteria to evaluate diverse children's literature
• Assemble resources to develop a profile for selecting diverse materials

Presenter:

Tiffeni Fontno is the Head Librarian of the Educational Resource Center at Boston College. A former classroom teacher and school librarian, Tiffeni's areas of educational interest are in Curriculum & Instruction, Children & Young Adult Literature, and Educational Technology.
