Free webinar: Can the library do everything?

 IFLA and ALA present “Can the library do everything? The changing role of librarians and the library as a space of social inclusion.” 

April 20, 2018 at 11am CT/ 12pm ET/5 pm UTC


The growth of political polarization throughout the world has prompted many librarians to reexamine various professional roles within the library and in relation to social justice and community engagement. This webinar will examine the changing role of the library and ways to engage and account for the needs of users from marginalized communities, as well as those who are veterans, transfers, and scholars from diverse backgrounds.
