SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 17 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.

    Have you seen the BCLA Climate Statement on Climate Justice BCLA Climate Action Statement: Essential Climate Justice Responsibilities in the Library Sector | BCLA

    The PDF download is worth the skim!  I look forward to seeing what they do to implement these actions.

    .... one of the folks working on this is Dan Hackborn, who does a lot of work in Canada on climate and libraries, including a recent Webinar on the MACK Framework: Developing Local Library Practice for Effective Climate Action - you can view the recording here  &   the slide here
