A few weeks ago, I was on a panel for the Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference. The panel was called "Rocking Diversity: Best Models and Practices for Competencies." The panel was organized by the current leadership of the Diversity Outreach Round Table (DORT), Laura Murlock (Office Manager, St. Catherine University MLIS Program) and Amelia Snetting (Student, St. Catherine University).
I was so pleased see that our room was full. My co-panelists were representing their amazing work at the St. Paul Public and Hennepin County Libraries.
Regina Harris, Rice Lake Branch Manager, St. Paul Public Library
Abdirahman Mukhtar, Youth Learning and Literacy Staff Member, HCL
Eric Yang, Sunray Public Library Associate, SPPL
It's always really energizing to do presentations or panels about the work that I do. It is easy to get lost in the day to day sometimes, but when you get to step back and reflect on what you have done, it makes it worthwhile. It is a reminder of how important reflection is.
I wanted to share the handout that was shared at the panel. And I always love to hear what others are doing at their libraries.
