<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a lot of new folks around here and someone asked me recently about collection development. I’m sharing here for the good of the order, feel free to ignore if this isn’t what you need this week.
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First off, I highly suggest my Connecticut colleague Kym Powe’s webinar:
<a href="https://www.nicheacademy.com/blog/from-diversity-to-inclusion-how-to-audit-your-collection-and-why?utm_campaign=Webinars&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=223977704&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_arcjyAlrm_tuQkgqHq-r7pJ7BrVUyvmNdjHlIoV_-GawtPYE3ny2_2yy9f11V1DIdHY49No7SKBvmY7GCM4tE8OarpTz1YFbyJurCscM2KURMPkg&utm_content=223977704&utm_source=hs_email">
From Diversity to Inclusion</a> – It’s an excellent and brief (1 hour!) summary of why we weed/audit and includes really practical suggestions for doing so – and hyperlinks! All her slides are hyperlinked and posted below the video.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to do a refresh of your kids/teens collections, check out the
<a href="https://www.bankstreet.edu/library/center-for-childrens-literature/childrens-book-committee/best-childrens-books-of-the-year/edition/">
Bank Street College yearly booklists for Best Books of the Year</a>, they are an excellent overall compilation of recent titles that would be good additions. If I needed to do a quick refresh/update, this is the first place I would go.
