Hello Global Library Community!
The International Relations Round Table (IRRT) International Connections Committee is pleased to present the 2023 Best Practices from World Libraries Photo Gallery, which feature library projects and programs that best demonstrate this year's IRRT President's theme: The New Normal for Libraries Around the Globe.
The project idea comes from 2018 IRRT Emerging Leaders' Project: Towards Increasing Engagement of International New Professional Leaders in ALA Activities, which identified "sharing innovative services and best practices" and "promoting the concept of a global community of libraries" as the highest priorities.
We believe the photographs selected best illustrate libraries' innovative services and impact in building strong communities around the world. These images demonstrate ALA's core values of librarianship in promoting democracy, diversity, social responsibility, lifelong learning and professionalism, and embrace what Dr. Michael Stephens called "the heart of librarianship" in pursuing "attentive, positive and purposeful change".
I encourage you to share the link to this project with your colleagues: https://sites.google.com/view/icc-programs/
