Books are both windows into other worlds and mirrors of our own. Publishing reflects the time and enhances it, luckily for us this is the era of diversity in books–cultural diversity, as well as awareness of sexual identity and preference, and an acceptance of disabilities. Join our panel to talk about fresh ways we can bring programming, displays and featured books to reader’s attention as well as learning more ways to bring books to patrons and customers without focusing on labels. We will create and give out great book lists.
