• JUSTICE, EQUITY & DIVERSITY: Brunvand, Amy, discussion Leader: SUSTAINRT: Introducing U.N. Sustainable Development Goals in U.S. Libraries. American Library Association Midwinter Meeting (Seattle, WA, Jan 25-29) Sunday, January 27 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Location: Washington State Convention Center, Room 205 Libraries are key institutions for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a plan for making the world better for everyone with no-one left behind. Libraries worldwide offer a network of librarians, public spaces and resources that are already trusted within communities. Libraries preserve cultural heritage and promote universal literacy and access to communication. While libraries outside of the U.S. have widely adopted the SDGs as part of their mission, U.S. libraries have been slower to engage. ALA President Garcia-Febo has announced a series of webinars to raise awareness of international topics affecting our world and profession, featuring themes that align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. It is an opportune time to discuss how U.S. libraries can support the SDGs. , 01/27/2019
