Inclusion affects many aspects of libraries, including:

​

Programming and Services: When library programming and services make active and enthusiastic efforts to embrace and include those who have faced rampant discrimination in our culture, such as LGBT+ individuals, BIPOC, Latinx community members, Asian community members, Middle Eastern community members, those dealing with issues of stable housing, those with differing physical and mental abilities, and many others, they are truly acting as centers of equity for their community and building a welcoming and accepting third space for those around them.

​

-Collection development: If a library's collection does not support an inclusive approach to their community, that is sending a very loud message to marginalized patrons. Having a collection of books that is largely white-washed is most definitely  not in the spirit of fostering a welcoming community to marginalized peoples. Librarians must actively seek out titles that build the collection to be more inclusive.
