Community Engagement Inside Library Walls

Project tags:

equity & inclusion

Community Engagement Inside Library Walls centers Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in community engagement in the town of Monrovia, California. This project entails a display of material within the library’s collection that covers the ethnic heritage of select demographics important to the town’s history. The collection adds more material for children, teens, and adults in e-book and e-audiobook formats in several languages as well as in bilingual formats. This is meant to create space in the library for the people of the community and to educate those wishing to learn about some of the individual cultures, languages, and communities.
