Pick up practical tips, resources, and advice on how to make your storytimes racially inclusive.

If you would like to create more inclusive everyday storytimes, but aren't sure how to go about it, this is the session for you. We'll arm you with some do's and don'ts, booklists and suggested themes, and some strategies for success.
