Culturally Relevant & Responsive Libraries
AkLA 2014 Culturally Relevant & Responsive Libraries panel presentation
Organized and moderated by Valarie Kingsland
Panel: Patricia Brown, Stacey Glaser, Linda Lyshol, David Ongley, Sue Sherif, and Sandy Tharp
In 2001, a group of Alaskan library directors developed the Culturally Responsive Guidelines for Alaska Public Libraries (akla.org/publications/culturally-responsive-guidelines-for-alaska- public-libraries/) in a workshop facilitated by Lotsee Patterson and sponsored by the Alaska State Library. Revisit these guidelines as they are put into context with similar efforts across the globe and join a panel discussion about how libraries are striving to make their libraries relevant to their culturally diverse community members. The discussion will include an exploration of goals and objectives for these guidelines in the future. Brought to you by the Alaska Native Issues Roundtable.

3. Regular monitoring and evaluation of the strategic plan allows the library to check progress towards goals and make adjustments based on changes in priorities or resources.
