[kids-lib] Friday, December 9th Shoutout and 2023 Summer

[BERGQUIST Greta E * SLO]

Hi everyone,

Today’s shoutout must go to Crook County Public Library staff, Director April Witteveen<https://pamplinmedia.com/ceo/162-news/565322-452770-crook-county-library-it-has-been-a-pleasure-to-serve-you>, the broader Oregon library community, and Crook County residents, many of whom hopped in to support intellectual freedom in Crook County, including at last night’s board meeting<https://centraloregondaily.com/lgbtq-childrens-books-crook-county-library-vote/>. We know Crook County is not the only library working on this right now. We also know last night’s meeting<https://ktvz.com/news/crook-county/2022/12/08/crook-county-library-board-rejects-calls-to-label-lgbtq-books-move-them-from-childrens-area-to-special-spot/> does not magically solve these conflicts and our community’s frustrations, this work will be ongoing. But we are grateful to all of you working to make sure every community member can access materials they need in your library, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, sex or disability. Thank you so much for all your labor at this moment, we know it can be very tiring.

I wanted to include some summer reading information in this shoutout. Any and all library staff who work on summer reading are welcome to attend next Tuesday’s meetup. Directors, please forward to any staff you think would find this useful.

Thanks again and have a great weekend! Greta
