Avoid meetings in ‘racist’ buildings, librarians told

Librarians should avoid holding meetings in “racist” buildings, decolonisation training experts have advised.

Libraries across Wales have been given the task of becoming “anti-racist”, in line with the devolved Labour government’s pledge to “eradicate” systemic racism by 2030.

Training is being devised as part of a £130,000 project to instruct local librarians in “critical whiteness studies” and how to deal with issues like the “dominant paradigm of whiteness”.
