RAILS recently conducted a short survey to find out how current participants are experiencing the new Social Justice in Public Libraries program from Freedom Lifted. The feedback was almost entirely positive. Here are a few quotes from people who have tried the program:
- “Social Justice for Public Libraries is a fantastic program filled to the brim with information."
- "Easy to go through. I like that it was split into sections so that I could go at my own pace and not do the whole thing all at once."
- "The instructor is very knowledgeable about this subject and the topics really make you think about interacting with patrons of all different cultures and backgrounds."
As a reminder to all library types, RAILS is offering an exciting resource to help address equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in libraries. This asynchronous course is a flexible learning opportunity that is suited for individual learners or a group learning environment. This resource is available for anyone working in a RAILS library.
Libraries are encouraged to utilize this as it will be offered for a limited time. If you have questions on the best way to use the resource, please contact the RAILS Continuing Education team.
