</b>Dr. Nicole A. Cooke, Jessica Anne Bratt, and ALSC President Nina Lindsay, will be hosting an ALSC Community Forum live chat on the topic <b>Social Justice Practice in Youth Librarianship</b>. This forum will include a live text discussion with the opportunity
to ask questions to our presenters. Circling back to this segment of the "Libraries are Not Neutral Spaces" program from 2017 Annual Conference, we will reopen this discussion on tangible practices of social justice advocacy. How do we practice talking about
race and modeling inclusion in storytime? How can we work with our colleagues in actual practice of social justice dialogue? At this Community Forum we will have a conversation in order to move from conversation, so that each of us can return to our work
with a new practice.<br>
