“I’ve always known what it felt like to be seen or labeled as “other.” When I began my career at LICM overseeing the LICM4all program, the objective I gave myself was to create a space where kiddos like me could feel that sense of “otherness” slip away. I feel strongly based on the feedback we’ve received from families that this goal of removing stigma is working.” —LICM Access and Inclusion Program Director Beth Ann Balalaos As we begin Disability Pride Month, we wanted to highlight a recent article in Able News written by our Access and Inclusion Program Director, Beth Ann Balalaos. Visit https://lnkd.in/euugkKYT to read more about the resources offered as part of our LICM4all program, as well as the personal experience that inspired Beth Ann’s career. We are grateful to the following foundations for their generous support of LICM4All: Charitable Lead Annuity Trust under the Will of Louis Feil New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Frank J. Antun Foundation Frederic R. Coudert Foundation MARILYN LICHTMAN FOUNDATION The Marion O. and Maximilian E. Hoffman Foundation PSEG Foundation THE MAX AND VICTORIA DREYFUS FOUNDATION, INC Laura J.

The Diverse Librarianship Career Training and Education (DLCTE) program enables seniors from Sumner High School (SHS) in St. Louis to intern for nearby St. Louis Public Library, learning the ropes of #librarianship while getting paid. DLCTE is a three-year project of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, funded by an #IMLSgrant. The DLCTE program has five aims: recruit high-school seniors from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds, partner with #libraries and other cultural organizations, mentor interns and encourage them to pursue library careers, travel with interns to library conferences, and develop a toolkit to help other librarians adopt a similar program.
