Decolonizing the Academic Library’s Juvenile Collection

Abstract Academic libraries serving education students have an obligation to provide exceptional offerings of current, decolonized, diverse, and inclusive children’s literature, while also providing examples of historical juvenile writings to critique and compare. The first step is to update the juvenile collection policy to reflect decolonized changes by determining guidelines and parameters for which books stay in a collection, which will be removed, and which books will be moved to a “historical texts” collection. The policy should also reflect a more inclusive collation for new acquisitions.
