Join us for a look at libraries in Latin America, with a special focus on
South America. Three librarians will talk about trends, changes and
challenges faced by libraries in Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela. From
creating modern library spaces, to providing access to digital tools and
MakerSpaces, libraries in Latin America are adapting U.S. library trends to
their unique clientele and creating their own successful library models.
