The Board asks members of the Florida library community to recognize, acknowledge, and work in solidarity to eradicate systemic racism. Ignoring the threats of racism serves not only as a barrier to equality for citizens and residents of our country but ensures that the violence associated with racism remains unchecked and continues to spread within our borders and beyond.In addition to fighting racism, FACRL is committed to enhancing the diversity of its leadership by creating a more inclusive Board of Directors. To that end, the FACRL Board of Directors pledges to make diverse representation and inclusivity a priority, and will actively seek out Black members and people of color to run for leadership roles for upcoming elections and to fill chair positions.The fight against racism is important. We must do better; and starting now FACRL commits to be engaged and vocal in the fight.***If you are interested in being more involved with FACRL and would like to serve on the Marketing and Communications Committee or the Scholarship Committee, please contact FACRL President Alyssa Koclanes (koclanan at eckerd.edu). | | | | | Another Opportunity to Get Involved:?Volunteer for ACRL Diversity Alliance Task Force! | | | | | | The ACRL Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Diversity Alliance Task Force.

Will you please answer this quick survey? (Completion time: 2-3 minutes) We are exploring programming options and welcome your thoughts and feedback. The aim of this survey is two-fold. First, we are interested in the degree to which librarians might have interest in earning a credential in instructional design (a graduate certificate) as a complement to what they learned in library school. Second, we are interested in the degree to which academic librarians might be interested in, and benefit from, a credential (graduate certificate in instructional design). All librarians are welcome to participate.
