Fall Event

October 5, 2017

2-3 pm

WebEX



Join us for our virtual Fall event! LaJuan Pringle of Charlotte Mecklenburg Library will be presenting on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: An Equitable Future for Libraries and the Profession as part of his work with the ALA, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion – Implementation Working Group (EDI-IWG).

The webinar will take place October 5, 2017 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm. Please register for this event so we can send you a link to join the presentation.  


Description of presentation: The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) developed a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity, and inclusion among its membership, the profession, and the communities we serve. As these recommendations have been taken up for implementation by ALA, we want to continue public and honest conversations that help keep these issues at the forefront. This webinar will cover how ALA started the EDI conversation, what has happened within the Association since then, and some examples of EDI initiatives from libraries across the country.  


The presentation was archived for a month.

Global Literature in Libraries Initiative


https://glli-us.org/about/



BIO: With degrees in art history and historic preservation, Rachel Hildebrandt worked as a historical consultant and academic editor before transitioning to literary translation (German). She has published both fiction and nonfiction works in translation, including Staying Human by Katharina Stegelmann (Skyhorse), Herr Faustini Takes a Trip by Wolfgang Hermann (KBR Media), and The Happiness Bureau by Andreas Izquierdo (December 2017, Owl Canyon Press). Her translations have appeared in journals such as Europe Now, Anomaly and Trafika Europe. Rachel is also the founder of Weyward Sisters Publishing, which focuses on bringing contemporary works of crime and noir fiction by women authors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to English readers.



The Global Literature in Libraries Initiative strives to raise the visibility of world literature for adults and children at the local, national and international levels. GLLI intends to do so by facilitating close and direct collaboration between translators, librarians, publishers, editors, and educators, because we believe that these groups in collaboration are uniquely positioned to help libraries provide support and events to engage readers of all ages in a library framework that explores and celebrates literature from around the world.
