In this Library 2.0 mini-conference, we will focus specifically on helping library workers thrive in our current uncertain and complex times. We will also explore the “opportunity to reimagine our futures, to renew and adapt our institutions and to craft new stories about who we are and what we value” (<a href="https://www.undp.org/thailand/publications/human-development-report-2021-22" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">United Nations' Human Development Report 2021/2022</a>).</span></p>
