Cultural and Racial Diversity Committee Blog

This blog is to share resources, events, and discussion about any topics related to under-represented groups in libraries. This blog originated out of the I-CARD Committee (Illinois Library Association Cultural and Racial Diversity Committee). To keep out spam, there will be comment moderation and word verification. Of course, comments and opinions here are those of the authors and not of the ILA or employing libraries.
