A recent article in the Times (Gainesville) reported that minority populations are growing in the United States. In 2006 minorities reached 100 million or about a third of the population. By 2050 the number of minorities is expected to account for half of the US population (Census Bureau). If we carry the planning to plan theme into 2050 our collections of materials could look a lot different than they do today. Hopefully they will be easier to purchase and have more availability in the year 2050. Culturally diverse materials that represent the communities we serve are happening now in Georgia. Planning to plan is fun and practical. I am enjoying this whole process.
