[Libs-Or] Registration Ends Soon for "Libraries Address Inequities" Online Conference

[Jodie Borgerding]

Join Amigos Library Services on September 7, for our next online conference: "Libraries Address Inequities."

People experience inequities - instances of injustice and unfairness - in many parts of their lives and may even experience them when engaging with library policies, services, or programs. Central to the mission of libraries is a commitment to addressing long-entrenched and newly emerging inequities in society - whether inequities in access to information, education, opportunity, or representation. Addressing inequities requires assessing library resources, examining existing programs and services, and directly engaging with communities experiencing inequity or injustice. How are libraries stepping up to address inequities across their communities? And how is that central part of our mission changing, becoming more challenging, or more rewarding?

This conference will examine ways in which libraries build partnerships, raise community awareness, and center dialogue in addressing known and emerging inequities. Felton Thomas, Jr., Director of Cleveland Public Library, will kick off the conference at 10 am Central with the opening keynote presentation, "Libraries: Community Deficit Fighters."
