On Oct. 20, two NVC Librarians, Angela Bilbe (“Bilbe”)and Amanda Gorrell, participated in a virtual library conference sponsored by The Council of Research and Academic Libraries (CORAL) and Texas Library Association District 10, which includes 21 counties in Southwest Texas.
The theme of this year’s conference, entitled Voces, was “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Across all Services and Library Types.” Bilbe, who joined the library in March, participated in a panel discussion on “Being the Only: Underrepresented Communities in Librarianship.”
Amanda served as a co-moderator for the panel discussion and was part of the conference planning committee. Kudos to Bilbe and Amanda for their contributions to this wonderful professional development program.
