SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: yesterday 

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.

    Subject: Co-Sponsor Opportunity - Social Responsibility Round Table and Library Juice Press
    Date: March 10, 2026 at 2:42:26 PM CDT

    Dear Al Kagen, 

    I'm the events coordinator for Library Juice. I'm currently planning a two-part launch event for Resisting Erasure: Libraries in Palestine and Palestine in Libraries, a new title from Library Juice Press. Information about Part 1 is here; information about part 2 is here

    I'm writing today to ask you if the Social Responsibility Round Table would be interested in co-sponsoring these events with us. In this case, we're counting assistance in advertising as co-sponsoring (we don't require any monetary or technical assistance). 

    If you're willing help us promote the event (and by extension the book), we'll add your logo and a link to your website to our events page. 

    If this is something you'd like to take advantage of, we just ask that you let us know my March 18.

    A co-editor of the book suggested I reach out to you. If there's someone else I should contact, please just let me know. 

    Thank you! 

    -Sophie

    What sort of promotion are they looking for? A piece in the newsletter maybe?

    It's coming up really soon, so there's no time to promote it in the newsletter. I think Sophie was just thinking about informing members through normal channels, such as this, and social media.
