DEI Read & Learn

As part of our antiracist work, the library intentionally collects works about a range of DEI (diversity, equity, & inclusion) subjects and works by authors from marginalized and/or underrepresented groups. Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee curates occasional reading lists on a range of topics. View these lists on our Diversity and Inclusion Resource Guide.
