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>
