Project READY. (n.d.). Project READY: Reimagining equity and access for diverse
youth. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Summary: Project READY, which stands for Reimagining Equity and Access for Diverse Youth,
is a free online professional development curriculum with the aims of promoting racial
equity in libraries and educational settings. Developed by a group of educators and library
staff from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Project READY offers modules
on understanding racism, building cultural competence, and transforming library services,
programming, and practices to support diverse youth.
Evaluation: This project is a valuable resource for librarians as this could provide useful
information regarding topics of racial equity that may be lacking in their understanding.
Provided that this is a free course, I believe Project READY should be an option that all
libraries can look to add into their training or professional development for their staff
members. The curriculum is comprehensive, leaving anyone who is able to complete the
course fully to have a wealth of knowledge afterwards. I found this source to be incredible
cool as it is free and it is also online. Accessibility was definitely a consideration when
creating this toolkit.
