SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 2 days 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.

    Thought this may interest some people. Looks like a great program:

     

    Black male librarians and library paraprofessionals make up a small percentage of library personnel across the country. However, their unique approaches make librarianship marketable and career choice a great opportunity to uplift and build communities. Join us for our virtual panel conversation as we begin to discuss how we can improve these numbers through recruitment and marketing and retain those who currently remain in the field.
