MAME Winter GetAway
...a Deep Dive into Diversity
MAME Winter GetAway is coming . . .
Join us for a deep dive into diversity beginning with a presentation on the need for diverse books in our school libraries. Then participants will jump into MAME's newly released MISelf in Books List, an annual list of diverse books selected by a committee of certified school librarians who are members of Michigan Association for Media in Education (MAME). The books have been published within the last two years and written by #ownvoice authors. The list includes books for all grade levels.
