The following program is sponsored by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries I Pennsylvania Department of Education

 

 

We all know that there are outdated and racist classics on our shelves. These books reflect a homogenous past, yet they still thrive in an ostensibly multicultural present. How do we hold fast to intellectual freedom while solidifying our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness? Nashville Public Library spent a year asking that question, and the resulting work can be replicated by other libraries seeking to apply an anti-racist lens to their collections. Join us as Lindsey Patrick-Wright and Klem-Marí Cajigas offer insight and suggestions for us to re-evaluate our own collections.

 

You are invited to attend “Tackling Racism in Classic Children’s Literature” with Klem-Mari Cajigas and Lindsey Patrick-Wright on Tuesday, October 27 from 11:00 A.M. – 12:30 P.M. 

 

Presenters:

Klem-Marí Cajigas is the Family Literacy Coordinator for Bringing Books to Life!, Nashville Public Library’s award-winning early literacy outreach program. She has been with Nashville Public Library since 2012, after more than a decade of academic training in Religious Studies and Ministry, including doctoral work at Vanderbilt University.

 

Lindsey Patrick-Wright was formerly the Youth Services and Continuing Education Coordinator for TSLA. She has been at Nashville Public Library for 9 years now, first managing the Children’s Department and is currently managing the Southeast Branch.

 

Session Maximum: 300

Session Length: 1.5 hours
