How do we move beyond the performative and truly engage with the communities whose land we occupy? Reparative work goes beyond a basic show of support for underrepresented communities and intentionally collecting authentic voices. Building trust between libraries and communities starts with reciprocity, the act of giving back, sharing, being accountable, and developing consistent cultural connections. Beginning with a growth mindset, respecting the diversity found in humanity, and practicing humility are essential starting points to building trust and respect. Being proactive in building connections, working with a cultural liaison, centering marginalized voices, and creatively using new technology are methods to build relationships based on mutual respect. With trust comes expanded access for all users and creates a more inclusive library.
