Description

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

From books to the cataloging system, libraries have a deeply embedded bias towards the white perspective. How can libraries reflect the realities of older traditions and new populations? This conversation with Angeline Boulley of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and author of contemporary YA thrillers; Randi Foor Dalton, Mohawk and librarian; and Anne Heidemann, tribal librarian for the Saginaw Chippewa will address these issues and give librarians and book people tools to take home with them. Moderated by Pam Margolis of Unconventional Librarian. 

This event is part of KidLitCon – an annual conference for people who care about and/or blog about children’s and young adult literature.
