<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">While classroom training has an important place in library staff education, learning is extended and reinforced when staff have the opportunity to work through difficult topics outside of the
classroom. In order to support staff learning about issues of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), Multnomah County Library has developed a $B!H(BRacially Just$B!I(B toolkit, containing activities staff can use to learn and practice on their own, with colleagues,
or in their staff groups. The toolkit workbooks include information and activities related to bias, microaggressions, allyship and cross-cultural communication, as well as a workbook focused on learning about Native American and Alaska Native people and communities.
Learn how Multnomah Library developed the workbooks and what indicators signaled that their organization was ready to support staff with self-paced learning about EDI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
