SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

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.

Survey for ALL IN's Project RISE: A National Effort to Scale What Works

    ALL IN's Project RISE: A National Effort to Scale What Works 

    Please take 10 minutes to complete our survey by Friday, July 31st.

     

    Calling on all libraries who facilitate adult literacy efforts! ALL IN's Project RISE is an initiative to collect proven strategies and resources to support lower-level learners and to share them with the field. This multi-phase national initiative will identify replicable, high impact strategies from adult literacy programs and translate them into practical, field-facing tools that programs can apply locally. 

     

    The Urgency: Millions of Adults Are Still Being Left Behind 

    Nearly 60 million adults in the U.S. perform at the lowest literacy levels. Without stronger data, shared strategies, and collaboration, programs risk continuing to work in isolation-and learners remain underserved. 

     

    Learning From Programs That Are Breaking Through Barriers 

    While many programs struggle to reach lower-level learners, some are succeeding at recruiting and retaining them on a meaningful scale. The ALL IN Initiative will learn directly from these programs and help scale their success across the field. 

     

    We want to hear from you! Please take our 10-minute survey to support our efforts and to learn about programs that serve lower-level learners.
