SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 3 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.

    Dear SRRT Members,

    In support of Welcoming America's annual Welcoming Week celebration, the Services to Refugees, Immigrants, and Displaced Persons (SRDP) Subcommittee of ALA's ODLOS Advisory Committee would like to share a draft of our toolkit (please see attachment), "Celebrate Welcoming Week: A Guide for Libraries" with all of you. The SRDP toolkit guides libraries to host their own Welcoming Week events, beginning with this Welcoming Week, September 13-22, 2024. Other resources for Welcoming Week planning are the suggested Welcoming America webinars and general toolkit. If your library plans to host an event, please consider adding it to the Welcoming America's Welcoming Week Event page.

    To learn more about the SRIDP subcommittee or to give us feedback about the "Celebrate Welcoming Week: A Guide for Libraries" visit our website.
