Diverse Collections:

Equity in Action

July 26

LMERC

Level 1

189 Faraday Street, Carlton

9.00am to 3.00pm

When children see characters and situations familiar to them, a sense of affirmation can occur. However, when children do not see authentic or accurate representations of familiar situations or characters, they can be left with a sense of exclusion.  Adam, H., Barratt-Pugh, (2020).

This masterclass will engage with the school library role in creating and maintaining diverse, relevant, and equitable collections to support curriculum and to foster pleasure reading.
