Renee F. Hill, "Yes, We (Still) Can: Promoting Equity and Inclusion in Children’s and Young Adult Library Services," The Library Quarterly 87, no. 4 (October 2017): 337-341.


Librarians who work with children and young adults must be especially vigilant in their commitment to helping their young patrons find and use accurate information. They must also seize opportunities to move children and young adults toward realizing their ability to be agents of change. This essay shares the author’s personal perspectives and reactions to the 2016 election and strategies that librarians might implement to provide inclusive and effective services to children and young adults.
