Books, and by extension, libraries, have become a flashpoint in the culture wars. The most banned books are from Black and LGBTQ+ authors. Laws now ban DEI and CRT. Library leaders, managers, and colleagues are invited to consider what it means for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) staff, living at the intersections of race, gender, and sexual orientation, to bring their whole selves to work. What does it mean to truly foster a library culture of inclusion and belonging for all staff?
