Abstract
Creating an Inclusive Library: Approaches for Increasing Engagement and Use with Students of Color, edited by Ngoc-Yen Tran, Michael J. Aguilar II, and Adriana Poo, is a timely and instructive volume that foregrounds equity-centered practices in academic librarianship amid increasing political and legislative resistance to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Through a diverse range of case studies and reflective narratives, the book provides actionable frameworks to support the engagement and success of students of color within academic library environments.
