We are coming up on a year of the Diverse Collection Support Toolkit. February's module will include a short feedback form on what's worked and what you'd like to see more/less of in the toolkit. After February's module is posted, we will shift to a quarterly module publication schedule.

Resource or Tool of the Month
Library folks love a good list, right? I present to you, the List of Lists: An Index of Diversity Book Lists for Adults. There are a lot of great lists out there for juvenile and YA materials, but for those doing selection work for grown-up readers, bookmark this resource as a starting point for your front-end audit and selection work! Explore the index by diversity category, or keyword.

Stay in touch
We encourage you to comment on this and other modules, add YOUR tips and suggestions, or email us with ideas for future modules. We are excited to hear from and learn from you! Find the complete toolkit here.
