“I am ecstatic that ALSC is able to partner with Netflix to supplement the project in this way,” says ALSC President, Kirby McCurtis. “We have provided links to resources that will help library professionals advocate for social justice and celebrate Black Voices in children’s literature.” ALSC is committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion within librarianship and the broader community.

As part of the Bookmarks project, ALSC also shared its resources to encourage families to explore the power of connecting with children’s library professionals. The Look to Libraries materials were created to help families navigate life during the pandemic and include tip sheets for families on a range of topics.
