CADL Finance Director Pat Taylor is retiring
by Duimstra,Scott 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hi all, Our fantastic Finance Director, Pat Taylor, is retiring on April 29, 2022. Pat has been such an integral part of CADL. He's been our Finance Director for 20 years, so you can imagine the economic landscapes that he's guided our library system through to become one that is on very solid financial ground. We are one of those rare library systems that have short terms (4 years) for our operational millage and Pat has been a major part of the forecasting, planning and ultimately passing of these campaigns. He's been such an important part of CADL's management and organization that it's hard to imagine him not being part of our team. But, he has definitely earned his retirement and we are very happy for him. If you know of anyone who would be a great fit for our Finance Director position, please direct them to the position's posting on our website.<https://www.cadl.org/jobs/finance-director> We're a great library system to work for and as part of our management group, this position plays a major role in our library operations and services. Thank you, Scott Duimstra Executive Director Pronouns: he, him, his Capital Area District Libraries - Administration 401 S.

In this transformative course, learn how to ensure that your collections are more reflective of the diversity of your community and the larger world. Here's what one participant said about the course: "The presenters were top-notch. Highly professional, exceptionally prepared, and absolutely the individuals that were needed to share these important presentations. They were all, without exception, passionate about their work and it was contagious! The time for this work is now and if this doesn't light a fire to start the process, then nothing will. So many solid ideas, tips, real-world examples, and resources were presented to us - practically gift wrapped - that the work should and will be able to proceed easily. They are at our disposal to answer any questions and they are happy to share what they know. This is probably the best workshop I have attended in all my years in the library business (25+) and by far the most important one I have attended this year.

Session 2 | 3:00-3:45 pm ET Conducting a Diversity Audit of Your Collections and Ordering In this session, we'll discuss the process of conducting a diversity audit of both your collections and your ordering processes. You'll learn how to plan a diversity audit, which salient data points should be included, how to gather the requisite information, how to set goals to address gaps, and how to make diversity and inclusion natural and ongoing parts of collection management and promotion. You'll come away with an understanding of what to do with your data once you have it, how to create a plan of implementation, and where to go next. Session 3 | 3:45-4:00 pm ET Auditing Your Non-Fiction Collection Can we apply the same audit process to all of our collections, both fiction and non-fiction? In this session, you'll learn where the processes align, and where they differ, including top tips and considerations for your non-fiction collection audit. You'll come away with a framework for assessing your current non-fiction collections and the vital information you need to know to make progress on your goals.

In this series of enlightening sessions, you will learn how to spot problematic stereotypes and tropes and how to avoid unintentionally perpetuating such depictions. You will hear from several experts in the field about the ways that specific marginalized cultures-Native American, Asian American, African American, and LGBTQIA+-are portrayed in mainstream media, their cultural traditions misunderstood or misrepresented, and their stories appropriated by cultural outsiders. You'll walk away with the knowledge you need to build a more representative, inclusive collection at your library or institution.

In this session, we'll approach diversifying your collections from new angles, considering the author and reviewer's perspectives in the process. You'll hear why one author started writing, what they found missing from the books they were seeing on the shelves, and what improvements they've seen since they've been in the business. You'll also hear from a collection development expert and reviewer on both the great benefits and the limitations of the review. This session will help you broaden your approach to collection development and enhance your ability to build a more equitable collection. Session 2 | 3:00-3:45 pm ET Librarianship Through a Racial Reckoning How do our personal identities impact the culture of our libraries? A truly inclusive library culture begins, first, with ourselves and considering how our blindspots can impact what our library spaces become. Creating libraries that reflect, and are safe for, BIPOC children and youth, is an active, ongoing practice requiring intent and unflagging effort. In this closing keynote, Dr. Kim Parker will help you think through how you can create an environment that is liberatory and reflective of diverse populations, on your shelves and beyond.
