Christina Fuller-Gregory’s book, A Library Worker's Guide to Saying No to White Supremacy Work Culture, could not be more timely. In a period of our history where too many state governments and elected officials are encouraging the banning of books that do not toe their preferred ideological line, Fuller-Gregory is offering a road map for libraries and librarians committed to fostering curiosity, lifelong learning, and doorways to a wider world. With a kind and encouraging tone, Fuller-Gregory guides the reader through specific questions and action steps to support a library culture that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equity at a time when these values are more critical to an open democracy than ever before. -- Tema Okun, author of The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race and Racism to People Who Don’t Want to Know, and the article White Supremacy Culture

Author Information

Christina Fuller-Gregory is principal consultant and Founder of Fuller Potential Consulting,a consultancy at the forefront of preparing individuals and organizations to harness the power of authentic belonging. Growing up in the Upstate of South Carolina as the daughter of a Library Administrator Christina Fuller-Gregory always knew two things 1) that she would never be a librarian like her mother and 2) that after attending countless library programs on the weekends, her least favorite place was the library. Luckily, an adult Christina discovered that she was wrong on both counts. She did, in fact, become a librarian like her mom, and Libraries would ultimately become her Third Place. Today, Fuller-Gregory uses her lifelong relationship with Libraries to inform her work as a people-driven, community-centered library leader. Christina has been recognized as an American Library Association’s Emerging Leader, she’s acted as a committee member and chair for numerous library committees, and was recognized for her work in the equity space by Library Journal when she was named a Mover & Shaker. She is a highly sought-after speaker and consultant, and her writing has been featured in numerous publications. Led by Fannie Lou Hamer’s belief that ‘Nobody’s free until everybody’s free,’ Christina's research and writing is driven by a desire to see Libraries develop strategies for positively shifting their organizational purpose.
