There are differences but there are also commonalities and working together is how we will *start doing things.* @mchris4duke concluding #bclc2018 on an inspiring note

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

opening the floor for questions has broadened the inclusion of voices and views of our attendees and taken the keynote from a presentation to a dialogue—thanks for being a facilitator @mchris4duke

We need creators to tell real stories about what libraries do, and who library workers are, and change popular perceptions #BCLC2018

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

“Norms of whiteness” that influence hiring decisions. It’s important to have library workers that look like and talk like our communities, but there’s a privilege of whiteness in representations and visions of libraries that impact hiring.

“I see you. Do you see me?” Libraries have real opportunities to do more in connecting with and including all people #BCLC2018

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

Library school is not diverse: so trying to engage more people of colour in the library world by starting there is starting too late.

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

You can be radical. You can bring social justice into your work and into your institution.

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

how do we slow down to bring people along to the importance of what we’re doing, while recognizing the urgency of these changes for the people who are forced to endure marginalizing and oppressive systems?

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

There’s only so much progress that we can make from within the system.

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

Some people don’t want to bring their personal politics to their workplace — but they are still bringing their personal privileges and promoting systems that are political.

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

Some people see libraries as neutral and librarians as neutral. @mchris4duke says that’s not only not true, it’s not desirable. We are constantly making decisions — from work spaces to public spaces, programming, communications & collections — these are not neutral. #BCLC2018

[BCLibraryConference @BCLibraryconf]

Good leaders recognize that people are more than their jobs—they have lives; “Health, welfare and morale” lesson learned from the army. #bclc2018
