Title: Get REAL (Racial Equity at the Library)

In this interactive session presenters will cover development of REAL talks at Howard County Library System, discuss the parallel tracks of HCLS’ internal and external racial equity work and join participants in a live REAL conversation. Information and examples shared will provide perspective for attendees to develop internal racial equity work models appropriate to their unique systems. The presentation will conclude with Q & A and examples from the field.
