Hi, Kim - While I understand I have not seen the comments you are referring to and acknowledge they may be rude, I can also imagine there may be some that are there to simply disagree with the content highlighting diversity and inclusivity. Some questions to consider are: Is that content truly necessary in your area? Are you having actual problems with individuals not feeling included? If your content is media, are you highlighting diversity for diversity's sake or are you truly bringing culture to the community that is of interest? Are you posting content that many would consider political, even if you personally disagree, and therefore alienating a portion of your patronage? Are you pushing the idea that "white" people, a large part of your patronage I'm sure, are racist, oppressive, or must take an apologetic stance for themselves or their country in some way? You may not be, but those ideas tend to go along with the topic these days and some may be offended while making this assumption. Just a possibility...I'm suggesting a "put yourself in their shoes" approach. I've been finding that the topics of race, equity, inclusivity, etc. - anything stemming from critical race theory have been infiltrating everything, including the library world. We need to be very careful not to use libraries for activism and to remain neutral territory. The operative word above is THEORY. Not everyone agrees about the size, nature or solution of this particular problem. As libraries we should not be taking stances and pushing agendas. Having information from all sides of an issue available and leading by example is enough.
