Support Black LIS workers
Donation protected
Are you interested in supporting Black LIS students and early career library workers? If so, join WOC+Lib and LIS researchers for an invigorating community discussion series about recent scholarship on racial equity in libraries and the retention of academic librarians of color and share more about our lived experiences as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in LIS. The first session will be a Black-only space, the second will be a BIPOC-only space, and the third session will be open to all library workers and students. All donations will go to current Black LIS students and early career library workers.
Participants will:
- Leave with an understanding of issues facing BIPOC library employees across the profession
- Have the opportunity to network and build community with library workers committed to making the profession equitable
Suggested donation are as follows:
Tiered donations - $0 for unemployed LIS workers and/or students
Open to All session donation $10
BIPOC-only session donation $5
Black-only session donation $0
*New England Archivists BIPOC members can join any session for free.
These donation amounts are suggestions and we truly appreciate your support! If you have the means and interest to donate more, this will help us provide more grants to Black LIS students and Black early career LIS professionals. Thank you!
