I am a Youth Services Assistant and I'm over the Teen Collection, I feel like I do pretty good on ordering diverse books but doing one of those would probably show me differently. At least from a contemporary standpoint. I know more about fantasy and sci-fi and try to include the ones I know of in those areas, but I'm a bit lacking in contemporary knowledge.Katelyn Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940835975636484117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160636034192691079.post-56588516590690589332019-01-13T22:43:05.834-05:002019-01-13T22:43:05.834-05:00I'm sorry, but my schedule does no allow for d...I'm sorry, but my schedule does no allow for diversity audits. I teach my library classes along with Basic Skills, Makerspace, Math, Health, and whatever else they add to my schedule. I choose books based on what will be checked out and read. I don't have room for books that don't go out, however I promote them and want books that my students will actually read.Library Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213905806064842605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160636034192691079.post-22174687777363616942019-01-07T16:39:50.280-05:002019-01-07T16:39:50.280-05:00Jenna, I would love to have an ongoing conversatio...Jenna, I would love to have an ongoing conversation with you about "diverse" books, diversity within library staff and so much more.
