Making Diversity Real

SLA Chapter member Suzanne Arist's feature article on Success in Diversity: How Three Illinois Libraries Embrace Multiculturalism appears in the current ILA Reporter, published by the Illinois Library Association. "Northwestern University Library, Illinois State Library, and Schaumburg Township District Library will remain vital to their communities because they continue to engage diverse populations," writes Arist. "There are a number of factors, which will ensure that these libraries will remain relevant. These include appropriate collection development, access to technologies, programming geared toward specific groups, and availability of facilities. In our multicultural state, these three libraries are excellent role models in diversity competency."
