Please save the date for our October Library Meet on October 26! In response to feedback from library staff, we are extending the time from 3:30-5 pm to accommodate library staff that can join earlier as well as those that will arrive a little later. These optional gatherings are wonderful opportunities to connect with colleagues and share ideas each month, we hope to see you there! Meet link: meet.google.com/lookup/CRLIBRARY

Celebrating Cultural Moments
Denver Public Schools strives to recognize cultures and identities year-round. With equity as our core identity, we aim to celebrate the significant cultural moments of our students and staff, especially those that have not been historically and consistently recognized.
In preparation for upcoming celebrations in October and November, the Collection Development team has curated these resources of recommended books, events and resources. Please share widely with your schools!
October is Disability Awareness Month
October 11th is Indigenous Peoples' Day and November is Native American Heritage Month
November 13-19 is Transgender Week of Awareness

Follett Supply Chain and Shipping Update
Due to supply chain delays, staffing challenges in the Follett service center, and the high influx of orders with schools starting, there are significant delays in shipping Follett orders. (Similar to other supply chains, many of Follett's vendor partners are also experiencing material and sourcing delays, which Follett relies on to fulfill our orders.) We anticipate shipping delays will continue for at least the next several months.
As soon as orders arrive to Acoma, our Library Services team will process and deliver books to your school as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
