Since I am the school librarian, I wasn't able to take a full equity check on the entire collection (though that is something I would like to do in the next year or two). I completed the rubric based on my current knowledge of the collection as it's developing. Since I started working, I think it has moved in the right direction. I have taken things out of the collection that contained outdated and stereotypical representations of a multitude of groups. My focus on developing the collection has been to bring in more diverse representation in subjects and creators. Where it stands, though, I still have a long way to go. Each of the sub scores on the rubric ended up in the negative. However, reflecting on this has helped me focus in on the areas that are in the most work.
