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.
Conference room with speaker, Jeffrey Boakye, talking to the audience about identity. Conference room with author Nazneen Ahmed Pathak talking about the role of libraries in her life.

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.
