Bringing in the Boys: Great Programming to Attract All

Abstract

Children’s library programming has seen tremendous growth over the
past few decades with a profusion of creative and innovative offerings.
Many of those center on and cater to previously overlooked audiences,
ranging from indigenous peoples and other marginalized populations to
physical, mental, gender, and neuro-divergent individuals. This long overdue
emphasis on diversity and inclusion is exhilarating, and hopefully will become
a standard component of all future library programming.
