TOPIC

Handling Microaggressions in the Library

Leigh has chosen a very timely and relevant topic for the next chat that I expect a lot of people will have a desire to chime in on. Her inspiration for the chat comes from an article over at Letters to a Young Librarian: Handling Microaggressions in the Library, by Amanda M. Leftwich.

JUST A HEAD'S UP - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE'RE CHANGING THE TIME TO 8:30PM ET!
