a few words from our Director of Equity, Charmecia

Part of being a savvy consumer of all media is being aware of the fact that each author is a human with their own unique makeup of values, perspectives and agendas. Know that in adding these books to our library, we’ve been intentional in selecting works we think will likely be helpful, but we too are imperfect humans. You may come across ideas that just don’t fit you, and that’s okay. That’s why there are so many to choose from. We also hope that what you don’t find here are any hurtful or misleading viewpoints. We always stand against all the “ism siblings”

As you peruse the stacks here, take care. All books can take you on an adventure and adventures call us to keep our wits about us. One way to do that might be periodically asking yourself as you engage with materials “Who wrote the story?, Who benefits from the story?,Who is missing from the story?” Another would be to listen to your own inner wisdom as it shows up in your body. Thanks and happy exploring.
