OCLS Firmly Opposes Hatred, Racism and Intolerance

[OCLS]

The past week has been a trying time for our country, and for our community. We know that many of our families, friends, colleagues and leaders are struggling with feelings of fear, sadness and frustration in the week since Mr. George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer.

As an organization, Orange County Library System firmly opposes hatred, racism and intolerance. We do not condone violence of any kind, and we condemn the actions that led to Mr. Floyd’s death. As a library system, we feel it’s our role to use our resources to bring our community together. We have long been committed to creating an inclusive environment for our community, and that commitment has only been strengthened by this tragedy.

We urge our community to peacefully stand united against racism. And below, we highlight materials from our collection that can help promote better understanding and compassion for all.
