[CORNELISEN Wendy * SLO]

Happy Friday!

Season 3, Episode 11 of the OVERDUE: Weeding Out Oppression in Libraries podcast is now available!

S3, E11: Library Services for BIPOC Adoptees & Children in Care<https://www.buzzsprout.com/1948067/episodes/16624031>

In this episode, we welcome Kendra Morris-Jacobson with the Oregon Post Adoption Resource Center<https://www.orparc.org/> (ORPARC), and Lisa MM Butler, a Black, biracial, transracial, domestic adoptee working in libraries in Washington State.

Kendra and Lisa discuss the vital role that libraries, books and educational resources play in the lives of children in care and adoptees. From fostering a sense of identity and belonging to providing comfort, escapism, representation and essential learning opportunities, access to diverse and inclusive reading materials can be life changing.
