Thanks, Bryan! I've shared these resources with my colleagues at Motlow. It's so interesting how this sudden shift to working and learning in a virtual environment has illuminated so many issues Library Land has been working for or against (depending on the issue) for so long. Suddenly, everyone has joined our conversation, and we have an opportunity to really help move things in a positive direction. Y'all stay safe out there!
