When my son commits, he commits.
Today in his speech class he’s debating why #Walmart is better than #Target.
He spent hours custom-painting these shoes for the debate. (Purchased, of course, at Walmart) #Committed

New polling data conducted on behalf of ALA shows that large majorities of voters oppose efforts to have books removed from their local public libraries because some people find them offensive or inappropriate.

@LemkePest Before moving to #rochmn, I’d never heard of Asian Beetles.
Once “pinched” by them, I quickly learned that I don’t like them!

@ALA_PLA 2/2 A4- we need to reach those that we aren’t reaching so we can start building those relationships. How can we meet the underserved if they can’t even acces us?

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@ALA_PLA A4: our first step was removing financial barriers and dropping fines. Our next step is looking at our hours.
We are also looking at how we can hold ourselves accountable to this work.

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@emcraig_95 I admit- we do this, but not on the ongoing basis it deserves (we did last month, and we did during Black History Month, for example). We need to be better at this!

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@ALA_PLA A3- during COVID times, we realize as we look to open up we need hours that reflect ALL of our community and not just those who are privileged. #chatPLA #Inclusion

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@ALA_PLA No- but that’s a great suggestion!

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@ALA_PLA A1 #chatPLA #Inclusion One way we identify potential BIPOC partner orgs is by building relationships through our Ready to Lead training program, which helps underrepresented individuals learn skills to serve on board and committees in our community.

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@AnaNdumu And all of this takes TIME. It can take years to forge those trusted relationships.

[Karen Lemke @librarianlemke]

@AnaNdumu This! 👏👏👏
