Join us Thursday, October 28 for SLJ Summit: In Community. Beyond geography, community can mean a lot of things.

For libraries to effectively meet their mission of serving the educational, informational, and entertainment needs of their communities, their collections must be diverse and inclusive, offering windows into and mirrors of the vast array of perspectives and stories that make up our world.
