Child Family Book Discussion Kits on Racial Equity, Identity, and Justice</a>:<i>
</i>The Oxford Lane Library in Ohio developed these family discussion kits after a local group reached out for help. The library has generously shared their great work, including each of the discussion guides, for other libraries to use and adapt locally. The
aims for the kits are to 1) To celebrate diverse voices; and 2) to help facilitate family discussions about racial equity, identity, and justice.

for Community-Centered Libraries: A Webinar Series with the Free Library of Philadelphia</a>: Like many libraries across the nation, the Free Library of Philadelphia is undergoing a paradigm shift. Their extensive collections offer boundless discoveries, but
increasingly their focus is not only on what is housed within their walls and on their servers, but how they are engaging with their communities. To address this shift and support staff, the Free Library of Philadelphia created the Skills for Community-Centered
Libraries curriculum to train over 300 full-time library staff. In a webinar series this summer, the library will share their resources and experiences in deploying this program.
