SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 2 hours ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    Hi everyone,
    Posting this on behalf of April & Charles:
    SRRT Action Council will meet Monday, May 20 at 10 AM Central (see your time). All SRRT members are welcome and encouraged to attend!
    And here is the agenda:
    • Approval of April's minutes – April Sheppard
    • FYI – SRRT at ALA Annual – April Sheppard
    • FYI – June Action Council Meeting – April Sheppard
    • FYI – SRRT Bylaws Task Force  – April Sheppard
    • Membership Survey Update – April Sheppard
    • Afternoon of Social Justice Planning – April Sheppard
    • Resolution in Defense of Anti-War Protesters' Freedom of Expression and Assembly – Al Kagan
    • Operating Agreement Rate Change – Charles Kratz
    And I believe we still need a volunteer to take minutes - would anyone be up for doing that just for this meeting?

    Finally a quick reminder: Please remember to review and follow SRRT's Community Commitment at the meeting.

     

    Have a great weekend, and see you Monday!
