<p>Libraries have been described as beacons of democracy, inclusion,
and equity. As a direct result of the pandemic, we have seen that in
striving to fulfill our values and serve our patrons, the very people
who make up libraries—library workers—are being neglected. Black,
Indigenous, and Latinx people are experiencing higher death rates in
this pandemic. … <a class="more-link" href="https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2021/01/04/call-to-action/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Call to Action</span> <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></p>

<p>Whether star athletes, artists, musicians, politicians, or something
else, Black people have always been here. For young readers, whether
Black or not, learning this and never questioning the contributions of
Black people begins with early, frequent exposure that encourages them
to continue learning outside the designated Black History Month
celebrations in February. One way adults can begin to introduce Black
lives into the world of young people? Picture book biographies of Black
people. </p>
<p><a href="https://bookriot.com/picture-book-biographies-of-black-people/" target="_blank">Find below an array of picture book biographies highlighting Black talent, Black achievement, and Black history. </a>These stories offer a
little bit of everything and encourage both pride and desire to seek
further education for young readers of any racial background.</p><p>Source:<a href="https://bookriot.com/picture-book-biographies-of-black-people/" target="_blank"> BookRiot, 10/26/20 by Kelly Jensen</a><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499545.post-50685972999886053212020-09-24T13:58:00.001-04:002020-09-24T13:58:29.155-04:00[ Library Journal ] Statements From Libraries and Library Organizations Re: Racism, Black Lives Matter, and Increased Violence<p> </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInabBGHicDyajMY9vr_40_X02pr34JuHdYTQbGt264E5lWckoLktFqir7sWm-TXcz-DwUGo15DrX2z6jhD3B9jSxWAp3OtWnNHBUbxdCjpgDH54t7stYnmCDEx3OP7eEa1YYu6g/s947/StatementsonRacismfromlibraries.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="947" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiInabBGHicDyajMY9vr_40_X02pr34JuHdYTQbGt264E5lWckoLktFqir7sWm-TXcz-DwUGo15DrX2z6jhD3B9jSxWAp3OtWnNHBUbxdCjpgDH54t7stYnmCDEx3OP7eEa1YYu6g/w503-h314/StatementsonRacismfromlibraries.PNG" width="503" /></a></div><br />Source:<a href="https://www.infodocket.com/2020/06/01/statements-from-library-organizations-re-racism-and-increased-violence/" target="_blank"> infoDOCKET (gary price)</a><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499545.post-14468361888274700152020-07-28T15:13:00.002-04:002020-07-28T15:16:21.216-04:00Virtual Presentation: "Connecticut's African American Heroines" Thurs. 7/30 at 6:00PM <br />

On January 15, the American Library Association issued the following statement announcing its new executive director, Tracie D. Hall:</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“The American Library Association is pleased to announce the appointment of Tracie D. Hall as its executive director, effective February 24, 2020. Following a nationwide search, Hall was selected to succeed Mary W. Ghikas, who has worked for ALA since 1995 and served as executive director since January 2018. Hall is the first female African-American executive director in ALA’s history.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“’We are thrilled to be welcoming Tracie back to the ALA family,” said ALA President Wanda Kay Brown. ‘Her unique combination of philanthropy and library know-how position her to be the leader ALA needs today. She is optimistic, energizing, and innovative, qualities that will serve the Association well as it continues its investments in advocacy, development, and information technology.’</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“Hall is no stranger to libraries or to ALA. Over the years she has worked at the Seattle Public Library, the New Haven (Conn.) Free Public Library, Queens (N.Y.) Public Library, and Hartford (Conn.) Public Library. In 1998, she was among the first cohort of ALA’s Spectrum Scholars, a grant program to diversify librarianship, and she served as the director of ALA’s Office for Diversity in the early 2000s.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“Most recently, Hall directed the culture portfolio at the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation, developing new grant programs designed to catalyze and scale neighborhood-based arts venues, cultural programming, and creative entrepreneurship. A civic leader in Chicago, Hall was appointed to serve on the City of Chicago’s Cultural Advisory Council at the beginning of 2020. Hall has also served in multiple roles in academia, including as assistant dean of Dominican University’s Graduate School of Library and Information Science in River Forest, Illinois.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“In addition to her MLIS from the Information School at the University of Washington, Hall holds an MA in International and Area studies with an emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa from Yale University and dual bachelor’s degrees in Law and Society and Black Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Hall has also studied at the Universities of Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in East Africa.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fffffd; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.4rem; padding-left: 30px;">
“When she begins her tenure in February, Hall will become the 10th executive director and 24th chief staff officer of the 143-year-old association.</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px;">Author Jason Reynolds was revealed as the Library of Congress' newest national ambassador for young people's literature on "CBS This Morning" Monday. The two-year position aims to raise the nation's appreciation of youth literature, as it relates to literacy, education and the development and betterment of lives.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Reynolds is the bestselling and award-winning young adult author and poet whose work includes <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Patina/Jason-Reynolds/Track/9781481450195" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: rgb(228, 162, 27) !important; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">"Patina"</a> and <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/As-Brave-As-You/Jason-Reynolds/9781481415910" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: rgb(228, 162, 27) !important; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">"As Brave As You"</a> (both published by Simon & Schuster, a division of ViacomCBS).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
As the ambassador, Reynolds said he plans to focus on children in rural areas and small towns across the country.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
"I can't claim to love children if I only love some of them," he said on "CBS This Morning." "Sometimes we overlook the kids in Iowa, the kids in Nebraska, small town Alabama and upstate New York."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Reynolds, who didn't read a whole book until he was 17 years old, said if he had had interaction with authors when he was younger, he may have been more motivated to read.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
"If anybody would have come to see me and let me know that they are the ones behind these words and I could buy into them, then I could buy into the work," he said. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
That is part of the reason Reynolds was selected as the ambassador, said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who joined Reynolds on "CBS This Morning."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
"What better ambassador? Someone who didn't have the books that he needed to get him excited about reading," she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Hayden added that Reynolds is "a rock star" in young adult literature. "Young people of all ages and types and sizes and colors stand in line for two hours to interact with him," she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry" data-use-autolinker="true" id="article-entry" itemid="#article-entry" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Text" style="background-color: white; color: #202022; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.3;">
<div class="content__body" data-page-hidden="0" data-page="1" data-use-autolinker="false">
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
To encourage children to read more Hayden said adults have to provide the books kids want to read and "not be judgmental."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"Sometimes we want young people to read the great novels and things and not a graphic novel," but adults shouldn't discourage that those types of books because reading is "like a muscle," she said.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
She added that "books should be windows on the world, but they should be mirrors," explaining that when she was growing up in Queens, there was only one book at her local library that had a character that looked like her.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Reynolds said the book that finally hooked him was Richard Wright's "Black Boy."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"What lit me up about it was that it wasn't a 50-page exposition. Page two, you're in the midst of the drama," he said. "I think it's interesting that we expect young people to want to read 50 pages of exposition when they live in two-minute worlds where things are happening rapidly. So my job as a writer is to write something that has a hook in the beginning."</div>
</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This year we are
offering a special Storytime School intensive program from Sunday, April 26 -
Tuesday, April 28, facilitated by Kari Ann St. Jean, Children's and Teen
Services Manager at Avon Public Library.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">The Storytime School intensive program at
CLA’s Annual Conference in Mystic, CT in 2020, will feature an experiential
learning environment with hands on participation and observation for early
career professionals. During this 2 ½ day intensive school, novice children’s
staff will learn the practicality of storytime design, planning and execution.
Together we will build a memorable and welcoming environment which supports
exploration, confidence and the art of storytime.</span> <o:p></o:p></div>
