Promoting Diversity

​
​In School Libraries

Why Diversity Matters In The Library


Diversity encompasses several themes of identity, including race, ethnicity, disability, gender, class, religion, types of family and sexual orientation.

With a focus on these different identities, libraries are uniquely equipped to lead the charge in celebrating diversity among students and texts.

Different organizations have displayed the importance of promoting diversity in libraries. The American Library Association (ALA) highlights the ways that libraries can successfully eliminate barriers and become accessible when they create culturally equitable practices. These practices include:

  • Offering new collections of books that sincerely present new cultural experiences across marginalized communities.​
  • Providing library service support to community events that highlight different cultures.
  • Planning and implementing new services to respond to community needs.
  • Creating a diverse library staff to allow more people to see themselves represented in the physical space.

When libraries feature a focus on diversity, students learn effectively. Just as importantly, when students see their own identities in the material they consume, they engage better in the learning process. Libraries have the immense responsibility of providing digital and information literacy tools to students, yet they can also provide students with a comprehensive learning process. The Association for Library Service to Children published a bombshell report on why inclusion is essential in the learning process and how to promote diversity in libraries.
