PROPEL EQUITY, DIVERSITY,
AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES FORWARD

Equity. Diversity. Inclusion. Three words that are at the core of almost every public library’s mission. Yet supporting cultural diversity and inclusion within the community isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. Finding the right content offerings to fit your community’s unique needs can start here.

Connect with your patrons in profound ways

It’s exciting to see how the public library continues to transform itself to serve users in unique ways. The movement to support equity, diversity, and inclusion is a prime example. While these initiatives are still in the infancy stage for many libraries, they’re an integral component in meeting community needs and creating a safe space for patrons.

To get these initiatives off the ground at your library, it may be necessary to fill the gaps in your current collections. Gale offers a variety of resources, including primary source, eBook, and eLearning content, to help your library connect with patrons in profound ways.
