Session Description:

As library workers, we are ever more challenged to ensure that our increasingly popular graphic literature collections are curated to reflect and serve the diverse identities, experiences, and voices of our communities. This webinar will explore the importance of depicting diversity in graphic literature collections and programming, offering practical strategies for building a more inclusive selection. Participants will learn how to create a thoughtful collection development plan, discover recommended selection aids, and reflect on exemplary titles that successfully showcase diversity. Join us to gain valuable insights and actionable steps for strengthening your library’s graphic literature offerings.

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

• Be able to identify at least three goals for centering excluded voices.

• Be able to outline a simple plan for identifying the kinds of stories to center.

• Be able to identify at least three selection aids for finding titles.
