Join us on April 29 for the next free ARSL TRAIN webinar!
Libraries and COVID-19: Information, Resources and Tools
More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, libraries continue to adapt and respond while faced with the challenges of redesigning services to limit the spread of the virus. The REopening Archives, Libraries and Museums (REALM) project is providing libraries with science-based information to support local decision-making by conducting research and creating free resources for libraries to use. Presenters will share information about these REALM tools and what is on the horizon for the REALM project, as well the frontline staff perspective on creating and implementing library procedures and engaging library staff and the community during a pandemic. This webinar will be free for all.
Presenters: Jennie Garner, Library Director, North Liberty Library (Iowa) and Kendra Morgan, Senior Program Manager, OCLC
ARSL Statement on Anti-Racism
Because Black lives matter and library professionals can be agents of change in rural and small communities across the nation, ARSL urges our members to stand up and speak out to end systemic oppression and police brutality. The ARSL Board of Directors is in active discussion about how we will commit to anti-racist work within our association.
Silence is compliance. |
