Jun 19, 2023
A new article from School Library Journal examines how public libraries are bridging equity gaps in summer learning for children, ensuring all learners receive high-quality summer programming. The article features a quote from ULC President and CEO Brooks Rainwater:
"Look at your existing [summer] programs and think about how and whether they’re serving the whole community. Really key in and focus on historically excluded communities, thinking about ways that we can lift up children of color as well as those [who] are disabled,” says ULC President and CEO Brooks Rainwater. “Having that holistic approach can make an incredible difference.”
