The application for Evanston Public Library’s Racial Equity Task Force (RETF) is now open for recruitment of new members. The RETF helps guide Equity, Diversity and Inclusion efforts at the Library. Comprised of community members, Library staff and Library trustees, this task force is devoted to increasing the Library’s outreach and service to underserved residents, particularly those living in Evanston’s 5th, 8th, and 9th wards. 

EPL is specifically seeking people who have a passion for seeking greater equity, diversity, and inclusion in public service and those who have deep ties to people, groups, or organizations who have been historically under-served. The RETF meets once a month for two hours. The estimated total time commitment for each member on this task force will be 4-6 hours per month. Task force members are invited for two year appointments. 

The work of the RETF includes:

  • Recommendations for integrating equity, diversity, and inclusion into library programs and systems
  • Identifying ways the Library might influence equity and inclusion beyond our community
  • Helping the library better serve our diverse communities and staff
  • Reaching communities that have not been active users of the Library and its resources

All interested Evanston residents are encouraged to apply here. Please address any questions about the RETF to Teri Campbell, Assistant Director, at 847-448-8656 or tcampbell@cityofevanston.org.  


La solicitud para el reclutamiento de nuevos miembros para el Grupo de Trabajo de Equidad Racial (RETF) de la Biblioteca Pública de Evanston ya está abierta. El RETF ayuda a orientar los esfuerzos de equidad, diversidad e inclusión en la biblioteca. Compuesto por miembros de la comunidad, personal de la biblioteca y fideicomisarios de la biblioteca, este grupo de trabajo está dedicado a aumentar el alcance y los servicios de la biblioteca a los residentes desatendidos, particularmente a los que viven en los distritos 5, 8 y 9 de Evanston.

EPL busca específicamente personas que tengan pasión por buscar una mayor equidad, diversidad e inclusión en el servicio público y aquellos que tengan vínculos profundos con personas, grupos u organizaciones que históricamente han estado ignorados. El RETF se reúne una vez al mes durante dos horas. El compromiso de tiempo total estimado para cada miembro de este grupo de trabajo será de 4 a 6 horas por mes. Los miembros del grupo de trabajo están invitados a nombramientos de dos años.

El trabajo de la RETF incluye:

  • Recomendaciones para integrar la equidad, la diversidad y la inclusión en los programas y sistemas bibliotecarios
  • Identificar las formas en que la biblioteca puede influir en la equidad y la inclusión más allá de nuestra comunidad
  • Ayudar a la biblioteca a servir mejor a nuestras diversas comunidades y personal
  • Llegar a comunidades que no han sido usuarios activos de la Biblioteca y sus recursos

Se anima a todos los residentes de Evanston interesados a que presenten su solicitud aquí. Dirija cualquier pregunta sobre el RETF a Teri Campbell, subdirectora, al 847-448-8656 o tcampbell@cityofevanston.org.
