Best of Core Forum: How to Have an Inclusive Collection Even When Your
Institution Isn't Inclusive

Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description:

How can you ensure your collection is inclusive for all, even if your
institution isn’t focused on or supportive of DEIB? Let’s look at how all
libraries (with a special focus on school libraries) can create inclusive
collections representative of all students and people, even when the
institutions themselves might not be the most inclusive. We’ll talk about
ways to create policies, teach challenging topics or books, create
displays, and handle questions. This session is open to librarians of all
types!

Learning outcomes:


   -

   Attendees will learn ways to create inclusive collections that can
   represent students and institutions for an institution.
   -

   Attendees will learn how to create policies, create displays, and handle
   questions related to this topic.


Who should attend?

Librarians, especially school librarians, but even if you don't work in a
school, there will be things for you to take away

Presenters:

Cherie Yanek has worked as a librarian at K-12 schools, colleges, and
DEI-focused nonprofits. She has a passion for libraries, books, literacy,
