Whitney Kemble

Whitney Kemble, Liaison Librarian at the University of Toronto Scarborough, dives into the contentious landscape of Canadian public libraries in her latest work. Discussing critical neutrality policies, she unpacks the protests and controversies that have shaped library spaces since 1960. Kemble examines how the myth of neutrality often undermines marginalized communities and advocates for transformative practices that prioritize inclusivity and social justice. Her insights shed light on the evolving role of libraries in fostering community care and addressing sensitive issues.
