Happy New Year! We’re glad to be ushering in 2017, not least because we have an important call for content on the website for this year. We want to fill up this year’s Incubator with stories of libraries making space and building support for the marginalized in their communities– particularly people of color– through art and creativity. If you have a story like that, we want to hear from you–please submit!
This week we got back into the swing of things after a much-needed break, sharing some cool features and scraping the best of the web together in one place. Enjoy!

TOP FEATURES
- We re-visited a wonderful exhibition at Columbia College Library called Aesthetics of Research.
- We also asked all of you–our readers– to consider how you can resolve to practice “Inclusive Creativity” in your library this year to support the people in your community.
AROUND THE WEB
- This important how-to from the New York Times is one to bookmark and return to often: What Should You Do When Customers Make Racist Remarks.
- This toolkit from the Digital Polarization Initiative (DigiPo) has exercises to analyze & fact-check news stories.
- The trend of readers choosing print over digital continued last year.
- Do some good by donating to an organization that sends books to imprisoned kids: Liberation Library.
- And an awesome new National Book Foundation initiative brings books to “book deserts” across the US.
