Making diversity visible within the school library raises the profile of these students
and sends a message to the whole school community. Reading about diverse
characters increases empathy and understanding., and can be a starting point for
further conversations.

Our Key Issues series has reached its tenth edition focusing on Diversity and Inclusion in the School Library. Written by Barbara Band, an independent consultant and training, it features useful advice for anyone wishing to make sure that their school library reflects the needs of the whole school community.

Key Issues are little booklets are designed to be taster introductions to some of the important subjects you need to know as Library and Information Professionals. Written by members of the SLG Committee, they all give a short introduction to the subject, and further links if you want to know more.

All ten booklets are free to download from SLG Connect.
