Getting involved in the Challenge:
Members of the college community are challenged to buy and read one of the books found here:
Loyalty Bookstores Antiracist Reading Recs
Books can be purchased from any source, but books bought from Loyalty Books also help support businesses actively promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
After buying and reading the books, community members will donate them to Wessels Library to add to the collection so that all members of the community may read and educate themselves about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Suggestions/donations not on the list are welcome as Wessels Library continues to build its diversity, equity, and inclusion collection.
Please let Reid Austin (reid.austin@newberry.edu) know if you would like to participate and what book(s) you will be donating so that he may list donated materials here to avoid duplicate purchases and so that all may see our generous donors (see selected books tab).
A new initiative to encourage students, faculty, and staff to read and discuss titles that cover diversity, equity, and inclusion. Please contact Steffi Hiltgen or another librarian or staff member at Wessels for more information.
