This is old but comes to me again through a library colleague.

Librarians and Teachers:
-analyze your school library and classroom collection
-does your collection represent a single story of people and children of color?
???where are your holes? who is not represented in your collection? which voices are absent?
???biography - who's point of view is most prevalent?
???which books need to be weeded due to biased and out-dated content?
-for summer project of continuous learning, have students evaluate and create a list of books that represent them and interest them for your collection
