I’ve been having difficulty lately coming up with my own coherent words, so I thought I would share some of the phrases and words of wisdom that have inspired me so far at the ALSC Institute:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There are no safety nets for the truth” (on telling the truth in an accessible way for young readers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When your feet are held to the fire, you have to deliver” (on having strong strategic EDI goals to keep you accountable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dreaming is activism” (from a discussion on the multitude of ways to be an activist).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“How deep is the mud? It depends on how tall you are” (on developing empathy by imagining another person’s view).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I can’t get caught up in the fears of the future. I just have to work in the present and create this work that matters to me” (Christian Robinson on working during this uncertain time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
