IFLA Public Libraries and Literacy and Reading Sections - Reflecting Back and Thinking Forward
Description
IFLA’s Public Libraries and Literacy and Reading Sections invite you to join us online for our joint Mid-Term Seminar and Meeting 12-14 April 2021 when we look at how public libraries have responded to COVID and how the lessons learnt will impact the future. We will also explore some of the great initiatives around reading and literacy that have emerged during this time and how we can expand on this. There will also be an opportunity to ‘meet’ the world’s Children’s Laureates/Ambassadors and hear of their vision for the future. We look forward to our virtual catch up.
