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.

SJSU Virtual Conference on Helping Patrons Experiencing Homelessness

  • 1.  SJSU Virtual Conference on Helping Patrons Experiencing Homelessness

    Posted May 21, 2024 11:03 AM

    Hi SRRT! Sharing this below opportunity with you on behalf of San Jose State University: 

    Hello! I'm hosting a virtual conference with San Jose State University's iSchool in June! The conference is called The Supportive Library: Helping Patrons Experiencing Homelessness. This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart and I am hoping that we can all unite together to share how libraries have been helping unhoused patrons. If you are interested in joining please register, it's totally free https://www.library20.com/the-supportive-library. If you have a program or service or you just want to share about libraries and homelessness we'd love for you to submit a proposal https://www.library20.com/callforproposals.

    Feel free to email me at Teachingmydream@gmail.com if you have any questions.

    Thank you,

    Kimberli Buckley
