Curating a Restorative Collection
Abstract
Collecting books that reflect our students, their identities, and their lived experiences is a crucial baseline for our restorative libraries, but they are just that: a foundation. This chapter will offer specific frameworks for sustaining an inclusive library collection, in addition to addressing weeding responsibly, guarding against soft censorship, and healing reading trauma.
