<div dir="ltr">I, for one, am extremely proud of the strides being made to address the imbalance and inequity faced by huge portions of the US population. I commend the individual librarians and libraries who make the effort to represent <i>all</i> of their community's population with empathy, acceptance, and good will. Seeing value in, and advocating for, others is a thing of beauty and not something to be shamed.<div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br><font color="#000000">Meagan Brown</font></div><div dir="ltr"><i style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span style="color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial">Pronouns: She/Her - See <a href="http://www.mypronouns.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="color:black">www.mypronouns.org</span></a> to learn more<b>.</b></span></i><font color="#000000"><br></font><div><font color="#000000">Adult Services Manager</font></div><div><font color="#000000">Hartland's Cromaine Library<br></font></div><span><font color="#000000"><div><a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=3688+N.+Hartland+Rd.%C2%A0+Hartland,+MI+48353+(810&entry=gmail&source=g" target="_blank">3688 N.

We are making our libraries more welcoming to all in an equitable manner, which is what libraries should do. <br>

<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I would like to remind everyone that the ALA has no authority over any library whatsoever. Just because they are moving to make libraries places of leftist activism, pushing ideologies stemming from Marxism and critical race theory, does not mean you have to as well.<br>
<br>
Start speaking up and having more courage about this. The parents in schools can do it. Where do you think the kids go AFTER school?<br>
