Project READY (Reimagining Access and Equity for Diverse Youth) is an IMLS-funded initiative that has resulted in an open-access, online, interactive racial equity curriculum written for school and public youth services librarians and library stakeholders (ready.web.unc.edu). The Project READY curriculum includes three sequential sections: Foundations (focusing on basic concepts and issues that are fundamental to understanding race and racism and their impact on library services), Transforming Practice (exploring how these foundational concepts relate to and can be applied in library environments, with AASL, ASLC, and YALSA competencies and standards as a foundation), and Continuing the Journey (exploring how librarians and other stakeholders can sustain racial equity work and grow personally and professionally in this area after completing the curriculum). In this presentation, Project READY staff will introduce participants to the curriculum and share strategies for getting started with this work individually or with committed colleagues.
