Honestly, ensuring the provision of quality local public libraries is too important to be left hostage to the great war between local & central Government. Libraries should be a consistent national offer, from Lands End to John O'Groats, and governed and funded as such.

Strategy matters. In any successful initiative there's always clarity about the goal, the barrier to achieving that goal, the insight that gets you past the barrier and the solution that puts that insight into action. It's amazing how often ppl don't start with 1st principles

The latest from #UKSGInsights: Heena Karavadra, Khadidja Kelalech and Keith Nockels (@knockels) from the @uniofleicester "Inclusive education: co-creating a reading list diversity toolkit with student input" bit.ly/3MWIqvc
This article introduces the initiative by library staff and students at the University of Leicester, co-ordinated between 2020 and 2022, that focused on creating a reading list toolkit to support academic staff in diversifying their module reading lists. Developed through collaboration with student volunteers and academic staff, the toolkit provides prompts for academic staff to critically assess and diversify the resources on their reading lists, addressing biases and ensuring representation across dimensions such as race, gender and socio-economic background.
