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.

    SRRT meeting Thursday, May 19, 2022

     Apologies for somehow managing to use the April meeting announcement to also announce the May meeting. So here's a new post with the right date in the subject, which may just make it even more confusing. Please see the earlier thread for info about revisions to the anti-boycott resolution.

    Agenda/discussion items:

    • SRRT statement on Buffalo
    • Resolution about anti-boycott legislation
    • Bylaws committee (volunteers needed!)
    • Update on meetings & programs at Annual, including Friday's All Task Force Meeting & Annual Membership Meeting


    Here's the meeting info:
