Social Justice in the Library is Critical

Abstract

Librarians have always been motivated by the needs of their patrons, and in today’s difficult political climate, we must address issues of social justice and equity. We have adjusted our practices to meet these needs, and will describe ideas for displays, programming, and curricula that have been successful in our libraries with the hope that you might be inspired toward social justice in yours. This paper will outline several areas where librarians can address social justice in connection to their communities.
