Sharing both her personal and professional journey of finding mirrors, windows and sliding doors through access to diverse collections, the author offers steps to consider for maintaining learners' access when books relating to diverse characters, LGBTQ+ characters, or written by people of color are more frequently challenged: (1) revisit district collection development plans and challenge procedures; (2) review school collection development plans in the context of a school library diversity audit; and (3) gather important contacts for resources supporting intellectual freedom.
