#InclusiveLibraries
Libraries should be places of inclusion, belonging, and equity. That cannot happen without disability justice at the center.

Folks at #InclusiveLibraries conference, please remember to add alt text to your images! For reasons of being inclusive.
Lovely to see posts on here from the #InclusiveLibraries conference (and a hashtag in use - something I’d been looking out for). Have added it to the list.

I work as a personal assistant (carer) for a young person with cerebral palsy. Their movement is seriously limited, so finding a win always feels huge. Turns out the local #library self-service machine is a win. #LibSky #BookSky #LibraryLove #LocalLibraries #InclusiveLibraries

🌎 School libraries are places where roots and wings meet.
In honor of #NationalImmigrantHeritageMonth, we uplift immigrant authors and students whose stories help grow our school communities.

Yes, and note that you can set up your BlueSky settings so that you’re promoted to add AltText if you have images in your post without them. #InclusiveLibraries

Jeffrey Boakye is *such* a wonderful speaker, I gave up trying to write soundbites because I wouldn't do it justice #InclusiveLibraries ...I am the worst live tweeter 😅

I attended the National Literacy Trust’s #inclusivelibraries conference on Friday. It was inspiring - exploring the importance of celebrating identity, the role libraries play in promoting inclusivity (and where we need to further develop), supporting diverse communities and welcoming new arrivals.

Setting off for London with a suitcase full of books... and a globe! Perfectly normal luggage, right?
It is when you're off to the British Library to set up a cozy book nook with a global outlook 😊
We'll be at the NLT #InclusiveLibraries conference tomorrow.
See you there?

You may have noticed I gave up completely 😅 and left a little early to pick up Bea. A really inspiring conference though, lots of food for thought, and in the goodybag we were given a copy of Malorie Blackman's autobiography & 'How to be an Antiracist' by Ibrahim X. Kendi #InclusiveLibraries
