understand effective strategies to reshape its workforce so it reflects the diversity of the community. </span></p>

Community Connection project is to determine practical, effective models that libraries can implement to ensure that people from populations historically underrepresented in librarianship can join and grow in the field, with a supportive, inclusive institutional
culture. This work is urgently needed, as the librarianship field has failed to equitably reflect the nation’s increasing diversity and promote a truly racially inclusive institutional culture. </span></p>

expressed a commitment to advancing equity & inclusion and report on the lessons learned from their successes and challenges. All library types are encouraged to respond.
