Our director, Scott Firestine, is a firm supporter of EID in all ways for RPL with full Board of Trustees support. The focus of this proposal is our approach toward our collection. Our challenge was twofold. First, we needed to identify gaps in our holdings. Our goal is a collection that reflects authors and main characters that are different colors, genders, and disabilities. Especially in a city that has a large community of marginalized African Americans, literature that readers can identify with is essential. We, at the same time, sought to inventory material that reflected “Lost Cause” mythology. Once we completed our inventory, we worked with public historians and experts from our local rare and special collections to provide context and determine the best location for such items. Over the past 8 months we have made significant progress and would love to talk to Trustees, Foundations, and Friends groups about our approach and its benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><h2 style='background:#FEFEFE;vertical-align:baseline'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#111111'>Session 5:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#111111'> Preparing for a Material Challenge</span><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#111111'><o:p></o:p></span></h2><h3 style='background:#FEFEFE;vertical-align:baseline;box-sizing: border-box;line-height:inherit;margin:0.5rem 0rem;font-size:1.58rem;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-numeric: inherit;font-variant-east-asian: inherit;font-stretch: inherit;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#111111'>10:45 am Pacific<o:p></o:p></span></h3><p style='background:#FEFEFE;vertical-align:baseline;box-sizing: border-box;margin:1rem 0rem;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-numeric: inherit;font-variant-east-asian: inherit;font-stretch: inherit;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#494949'>This program centers on the topic of intellectual freedom and how it weathers a material challenge. As intellectual freedom centers on the idea of a person's ability to examine a concept from every angle, the program will discuss the value of ensuring a well-balanced collection featuring EDI materials. To ensure that the right of intellectual freedom is met for each patron, materials must include themes of equity, diversity, and inclusion. The program will also discuss meeting EDI concerns in regard to ensuring diverse voices have a role during a material reconsideration process within both a committee and a trustee board. As a result, this will include discussion on the value of approaching staffing and trustee recruitment with EDI in mind. Tonya and David will discuss their previous experience handling book challenges and how they worked with their trustees during the process. The presentation will include information on how the issue was handled, what Tonya and David learned, and how they would respond now if facing the same situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> United for Libraries <united@ala.org> <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 4, 2022 2:19 PM<br><b>To:</b> director@bakerlib.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Register for United Virtual 2022 FREE + Learn how YOU can support the well-being of library workers<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#C2CCD2;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:-2.25pt;margin-right:-2.25pt'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=0 style='width:6.25in;background:#E2E7EA;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#C2CCD2;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#C2CCD2;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:6.75pt 0in 6.75pt 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='background:#C2CCD2;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:10.5pt'><span class=inline-color><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>If you are having trouble viewing this mailing, please</span></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> <u><a href="http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMDcwNDM5NyZwPTEmdT0xMDI4MjYwMTMwJmxpPTk2NTc4NTY0/index.html" target="_blank"><span class=email-hyperlink-color-preserver><span style='color:black'>click here</span></span></a></u><span class=inline-color> for our online version.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#E2E7EA;border-collapse:collapse;margin-left:-2.25pt;margin-right:-2.25pt;max-width: 600px;min-width:
