Social Justice Policy

Last Updated Date

Inclusiveness is one of our core values, and we strive each day to offer a safe and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds to relax, socialize and pursue personal enrichment. We are also committed to improving the quality of life in our community and being a catalyst for
community enhancement.
 
Part of living up to these ideals requires the library to be a vocal leader on equality and to actively commit resources to programs and services that eliminate institutional racism that perpetuates social inequities. 

The library must also ensure that barriers to access are eliminated and support broader public access of library services.
Going forward we commit to the following: 

  • Completing the DPI inclusive services assessment.
  • Completing a diversity audit of our collection 
  • Examining our hiring and recruiting practices for staff and boards
  • Providing on-going training/staff development in racial literacy and cultural competencies
