September Conference Schedule Announced – Register Now for "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 assessment of library resources, examination of existing programs and services, and direct engagement with the 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?

The September 7, 2023 topical conference, “Libraries Address Inequities” will examine ways in which libraries build partnerships, raise community awareness, and center dialogue in addressing known and emerging inequities. Session topics will range from engaging families of young children with disabilities to building relationships through a library exhibition and much more – stay tuned for more session announcements!
