A superb high school librarian, in a discussion of making a place for all stories, explained the groups she was expanding her collection to more accurately and completely represent. When I asked about voices of those living in generational poverty, she paused and very honestly replied, “I never thought about representation and socioeconomics,” and proceeded to ask me about titles. So in this webinar, we will do just that: think about our children and teens navigating the world today living in poverty – both their joys and challenges, and how to develop our collections to represent their voices. There will be time for questions and answers and sharing our stories. Please visit my website to get a taste of who I am and what I do: www.opendorrs2books.com.
