As the first ALA President of Chinese American heritage, Patty Wong chose the theme of Libraries Connect for her presidential year – including connecting across our diverse backgrounds, experiences, and futures. During this period of such rapid demographic changes on a national scale, it is imperative that library professionals connect to one another through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the ALA’s fundamental values. In November’s upcoming ALA Connect Live session, Patty will be joined by Ray Pun, President of the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) and Pambanisha Whaley, Head of User Services at Vassar College Libraries. They will share their DEI perspectives through programs, initiatives, and scholarships that are impactful, meaningful, and actionable. Join us for the opportunity for live conversations with ALA President Wong and guests. ALA Executive Director Tracie Hall will also give a brief report on Association initiatives and activities.
You can submit your questions in advance on this or any other topic.
