07 Aug '21

On Saturday, September 11 at 1:00 PM Van Buren District Library will host author Mitch Horowitz at the Van Buren Conference Center, located at: 490 S. Paw Paw St.Lawrence, MI 49064 Mitch is the author of “Occult America: White House Séances, Ouija Circles, Masons, and the Secret Mystic History of Our Nation”, “One Simple Idea: How the Lessons of Positive Thinking Can Transform Your Life”, and “The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality.” Mitch Horowitz is a historian of alternative spirituality and one of today's most literate voices of esoterica, mysticism, and the occult. He is among the few occult writers whose work touches the bases of academic scholarship, national journalism, and subculture cred. Mitch’s forthcoming appearance in Van Buren County, southwest Michigan, has been years in the making. This appearance was originally scheduled for April 2020, but was postponed due to the Covid pandemic. Admission to Mitch’s September 11, 2021 Van Buren County appearance is absolutely free and open to all. A limited number of Mitch’s books will be offered for sale, and Mitch will be happy to personally sign them. I would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the work about Mitch’s upcoming appearance. I have attached graphics in PNG format, which you may use to publicize the event on social media. I have also attached an event flyer, a description of Mitch’s appearance entitled “The Secret History of Positive Thinking”, and a brief biography of Mitch, all in PDF format. Questions?

ICYMI: New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics
by Karyn Ruley 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hello, I would like to remind everyone that the ALA has no authority over any library whatsoever. Just because they are moving to make libraries places of leftist activism, pushing ideologies stemming from Marxism and critical race theory, does not mean you have to as well. Start speaking up and having more courage about this. The parents in schools can do it. Where do you think the kids go AFTER school?

Re: [Michlib-l] New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics
by Katie Dover-Taylor 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

As a member of the Public Library Association's Task Force (now Committee) on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in 2017, I recall our discussions as we recommended social justice be added to our group's name and prioritized along with equity, diversity, and inclusion as a major goal in PLA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan <https://www.ala.org/pla/about/mission/strategicplan>. We defined social justice as *"full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs."* I see this principle as in direct alignment with the other principles in the ALA Code of Ethics. It's unfortunate that full and equal participation of all groups in society is such a polarizing idea. When we drafted the Statement and Call to Action for Public Library Workers to Address Racism <https://www.ala.org/pla/initiatives/edi/calltoaction> last summer, it was with the understanding that library workers must be able to deeply engage in discussions and develop new practices that consciously work to dismantle racism if we are to have any chance of creating institutions that truly provide for everyone in our communities. There are many identities -- race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, etc. -- that may lead to people being marginalized or harmed in their encounters with libraries. Again, we have to be able to address structural issues intentionally if we want to change that. I am grateful to everyone struggling to move this work forward! I'd be happy to chat about all of this in a format that is more conducive to real conversation -- please feel free to reach out if you're interested.

Re: New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics I stand by the long-overdue update to the ALA Code of Ethics. Our job as librarians is to uphold the truth, and the truth is that this county was founded on the oppression and subjugation of non-white people. This basic premise (proved beyond a shadow of a doubt through primary source materials and almost any history book) has impacted every subsequent generation that grows up or immigrates to America -- especially people of color but specifically Black and indigenous people. In 2021, It blows me away that we continue to argue about it in libraries instead of doing something about it. Library workers and librarians are predominantly white. The statistics are staggering, and it's our collective problem to address and fix. I'd also like to respectfully disagree with the idea that by acknowledging these basic truths about what people of color have endured in our communities, we are limiting the views of those on the opposite side of the aisle. This isn't about political ideologies. It's about the truth and facts. Libraries have historically catered to white communities much more than to Black ones. I encourage you all to read up on the history of segregation in public libraries. Finally: I moved to Michigan from South Carolina two years ago. I live in Detroit but work in the suburbs. Southeast Michigan is far more segregated than anywhere I've visited or lived during my first 33 years of life in the South. I would love to see TLN create a committee or group to address this. It's something I would be happy to be a part of.
