This is a 4-month series designed to encourage thoughtful and courageous community conversation about diversity, race, and racialized trauma. Participants will receive a family book bag with three children’s picture books and one adult-reading-level non-fiction book. This series requires a 4-month commitment and will take place from September through December. This hour and a half-long program will begin with a 20-minute family storytime featuring one diverse children’s picture book with specific themes such as 1) observation, 2) empathy, and 3) loving-kindness. Librarians will model how to talk about diversity, inclusion, race, racism, and equality in age-appropriate ways with preschoolers, school-aged children (up to 8-yrs of age), parents, and caretakers. Following the storytime, the children will participate in a theme-appropriate crafting activity while adults engage in a 60-minute discussion focusing on certain segments of the adult non-fiction book. Two trained facilitators will direct the conversation. Theme-appropriate resources will be available for check-outs. Throughout the month, weekly prompts for self-regulation will be offered to the family members via email.
