Hello all,

In case it's helpful, we created this resource list as part of our campus-wide "Community Reads" of Angela Davis' Freedom is a Constant Struggle.

COVID-19: impacts on marginalized communities
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WzQgeNBfusJS91NeADbRmkrFiw2tZl8lU5OOK-JNkrc/edit#heading=h.uh5nuxpkema2

I'm also very interested in participating in this.

It might be powerful to have interested folks meet to discuss this book specifically through a Library Leadership lens. I'm currently reading me and white supremacy with Sally and a few others and we meet weekly to discuss it. The discussions take the reading to entirely new heights.

That is such a great book, Lynn. Our campus is reading it, as well, and systematically reviewing policy through an anti-racist framework. It's been challenging and rewarding work. I'd love to be a part of the discussion with this group!

I'm interested in being part of a discussion and action as well. I think the most important thing we can do is work on making our libraries and our institutions actively anit-racist.



At Seattle Central, library staff have used some of our "work from home" time to read and discuss Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be and Anti-Racist, and these discussions have led to more work on reviewing and revising our policies and services. Along with guided conversations about the book, we've found the following report helpful: https://www.racialequityalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/GARE_LibrariesReport_Issue-Paper-April-2018.pdf<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racialequityalliance.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F04%2FGARE_LibrariesReport_Issue-Paper-April-2018.pdf__%3B!!CVJAgw2XxpAa!zkv5B40c4DeiV2oYu1D1PxnWaX0oZeH-jyyYV1lsN4h31o9qwUVQ6f3pCfkJ6Es%24&data=02%7C01%7C%7C4d6a4b696caf4f781f5c08d8064acd42%7C02d8ff38d7114e31a9156cb5cff788df%7C0%7C0%7C637266265660996047&sdata=IZj3ZUSwchIuDSFa%2BQKry5S8TNdv%2BVPJ3nkJHYgHHd8%3D&reserved=0>.



Let's keep the conversation going.

________________________________

Good morning Greg and all,

I'm feeling and thinking all kinds of ways about this; too much for email.  Conversation and action could unfold in a few different ways, I think, including:

A. Adding deliberation about an LLC statement to our executive team meeting agenda when we meet to firm up the work plan

B. Scheduling the monthly LLC "happy" hour sooner rather than later so we can address the questions you raise less formally as a starting place

C. Interested parties draft a statement re:anti-racist and counter anti-blackness stance along with a proposal of what to do with said statement and exec team sends it to the LLC for a vote

D. Interested parties call a side meeting to discuss and perhaps draft and then propose to exec team some formal action

E. Some combination of above or something else entirely



Aryana

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Anti-Blackness Solidarity



Hello all.



After participating in the protest today, I am wondering how each of you are feeling about your library and your school and their commitment to anti-blackness and anti-racist practices.



I am also wondering if there is anything the Library Leadership Council would be interested in doing in solidarity-issuing a statement, thinking about practices, engaging in conversations with staff, or something else entirely.



I write this pretty late on a Saturday, I realize, and am not expecting any immediate responses-but I am "fired up" (as they say) and would love to work with others who are as well.



Be safe, and thank you for considering,



Greg
