[eresources] Antiracism Resources Book List on Overdrive

[Ellen Nasto]

Hello, Friends,

I published a curated list on Overdrive this morning of recommended antiracism reads that are currently in our collection ("Antiracism Resources" -- https://livebrary.overdrive.com/collection/1086619 ( https://livebrary.overdrive.com/collection/1086619 ) ).  Overdrive initially prepared this list, and I have reviewed it and thought it contained all the titles people are talking about right now.  

A few notes:

Many of the most popular titles, like "Stamped" by Jason Reynolds, are heavily waitlisted, so they won't appear first in this curated list.  I'm working on adding extra copies of those in an effort to bring the waitlists down (unfortunately, there are too many holds on many of these to clear the waitlists altogether).

I was able to acquire the ebook of "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla F. Saad ( https://livebrary.overdrive.com/media/5008327 ( https://livebrary.overdrive.com/media/5008327 ) ) for simultaneous use for the month of June.  Simultaneous use access to this book will end on 7/2/2020. 

Also, the audiobook version of "So You Want to Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo ( https://livebrary.overdrive.com/media/3444426 ( https://livebrary.overdrive.com/media/3444426 ) ) is also available for simultaneous use.  This access will expire in December of this year.

If you have a suggestion for a title that should be on the list or have any questions about these titles, please place a ticket for me in the Call Center ( help at suffolknet.org ( help at suffolknet.org ) ).  I'm happy to have a look!  I will also post this message in the Forums, and I will update that feed if I am able to grab any more of these titles for simultaneous access.

--Ellen
