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.

  • 1.  Important Update: January Action Council Meeting CANCELLED

    Posted Dec 20, 2024 09:19 AM

    Hello all,

    As we rapidly approach the end of 2024, I wanted to make sure I get this message out sooner than later:

    With our regular schedule rotation, alternating between first Mondays and second Wednesdays, our next Action Council meeting was scheduled for Monday, January 6, 2025, which is very early in the month. Because this falls so close to winter holidays, and may be in conflict with folks' winter break schedules and/or return to work, our January meeting is cancelled.

    Our next Action Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 1:30 PM Atlantic / 12:30 PM Eastern / 11:30 AM Central / 10:30 AM Mountain / 9:30 AM Pacific.

    A reminder and a call for agenda items will go out closer to the meeting date.

    In the meantime, please feel free to make use of the Connect space - it's a great way for us all to stay engaged on the latest, and keep the conversation going. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly, and I'll be happy to discuss.

    And with that, my SRRT friends, I wish you all a happy holiday season, and a wonderful new year!

    Thank you for being part of this community, and I'll look forward to seeing you all in 2025!!

    Olivia
