cultural norms still dominate management practices in public libraries today. In order to create more inclusive workplace cultures in public libraries, new norms must be established by creating decision-making processes and modes of communication that honor
the cultural norms of BIPOC staff members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

racial inequities in the communities we serve, the time has also come to look inward at the ways our own management systems and structures perpetuate inequities among those who work in public libraries. By dismantling and re-weaving organizational culture
norms to decenter whiteness, we can work together to create a better, more inclusive future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

illustrated by examples from the lived experience of the panelists. Attendees will develop a deeper understanding of the way that these norms marginalize, silence, and harm BIPOC library staff members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
