I have had some inquiries on how to do diversity audits with your collections. The following informative recording is from Kymberlee Powe, Children and Young Adult Consultant at the Connecticut State Library:

From Diversity to Inclusion: How to Audit Your Collection and Why<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r4lEMsfTzw> A diversity audit is a count of titles to help you determine what percentage of your collection is made up of non-dominant voices. It is important to make sure that your materials reflect the diversity not only in your community, but in the country. You may find the slides, handouts, and various supports on their Inclusive Collections<https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/children/inclusivecollections> page as well.

This information is also applicable to adult collections, too. Enjoy, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W.
