Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement and Plan

The Central Louisiana Technical Community College Library is committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive environment for students, staff, and faculty. The Library encourages, supports, and celebrates people of all races and places of origin, people with disabilities, people of diverse religious beliefs, sexualities and gender identities, and the most vulnerable in our communities. 

As the heart of CLTCC's academic community, the CLTCC Library celebrates the diversity of our students, faculty, and staff. Library staff members are empowered to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion through our library services, collections, and programming.

We are dedicated to providing an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and respected. 

We do this by: 

  • Developing diversity awareness and sensitivity among library employees
  • Promoting diversity values in our services to users
  • Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in our virtual and physical locations
