We are sure you\u2019ve heard it said that it takes 21 days to form a habit. 21 days of consistent work to make a change. Maybe you\u2019ve tried exercising for 21 days in a row or meditating for 21 days in a row to make it a habit\u2026knowing that the more you exercise and meditate, the better you\u2019ll feel. The same applies to learning and challenging yourself to be an ally and an advocate for change.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we are introducing the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge for ALSC Members. Modeled after Eddie Moore Jr. and Marguerite Penick-Parks\u2019 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge \u00a9 Educator Edition<\/a>, the idea is to take 10-15 minutes each day to learn\u2014through books, videos, and podcasts\u2014about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as it relates to libraries and library services to children.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every day for 21 days, you will read, watch, or listen to something related to DEI and reflect. You can journal in a blog or on paper. You can share on social media what you are learning in order to inspire others to also participate in the challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to join?\u00a0Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https:\/\/forms.gle\/GjDpQWktWo16J3WAA<\/a> You will receive resources to visit throughout the week, along with tips and tricks.\u00a0We will also be sharing suggested activities via the ALSC Twitter account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
