Free Reader Voter Ready webinar next week 8/6!

  • 1.  Free Reader Voter Ready webinar next week 8/6!

    Posted Jul 31, 2024 02:57 PM


    We invite you to join ALA President Cindy Hohl for, "Getting our communities Reader Voter Ready: sustained engagement to increase voter participation" on Tuesday, August 6. President Hohl will be joined by panelists Lucy Podmore, Clark High School (TX); Gwendolyn Reece, American University (DC); and Anna Maxwell Snyder, Wayne County Public Library (NC).

    Fall brings a range of civic holidays-like National Voter Registration Day and Voter Education Week-and other opportunities to help communities prepare for elections. For many libraries, that work is embedded into the fabric of their ongoing community engagement efforts. This webinar will highlight learnings from librarians who have honed strategies to expand voter education, increase voter participation, and sustain civic engagement in different communities around the country.

    The webinar is free and registration is required.
