Abstract
ABSTRACT Libraries are seeking ways to ensure their collections are representative of the populations they serve as demographics continue to change. The diversity audit that took place at Liberty Public Library (LPL) included a random sampling of more than a quarter of the books in its children’s collection to determine how well the library represented its patrons. One goal of this study was to evaluate the diversity present in the LPL children’s collection and to improve gaps that were identified. The work addresses the lack of research on how smaller libraries can successfully tailor diversity audits to meet their needs.
