Event Description

We Stories: Diversity in Childrens Literature At the Library
11/12/2018
12-1 pm

Research of family habits indicates that the vast majority of white families rarely, if ever, talk about race at home. At the same time, many library patrons from minority groups observe and report that there are few books for children that are culturally relevant and reflective of their lives. St. Louis County Library initiated a partnership with a local organization that aimed at addressing both of these deficits. Learn how the collaboration between a non-profit and the public library evolved and the results of this collaboration. 

Presenters: Kristen Sorth & Eric Button, St. Louis County Library
