Register for this webinar!

How can we work to make libraries environmentally sound, socially equitable, and economically feasible in 2025? 

René Tanner (co-author of Libraries and Sustainability: Programs and Practices for Community Impact) and Helena Asamoah-Hassan (editor of Digital Literacy, Inclusivity and Sustainable Development in Africa) will delve into this "triple bottom line" question of sustainability for our Wednesday, December 18th, 1 PM CST Book Club meeting, which uniquely explores sustainability by putting both African and American perspectives in conversation. Nkem E. Osuigwe, who contributed to Asamoah-Hassan's edited volume, is also expected as a discussant.

Register now for the 1-hour discussion Zoom discussion which will allow plenty of time for audience Q&A; it's completely free. You don't have to read either book or secure copies of them to participate. This will be ALA Editions | ALA Neal-Schuman's last virtual event of the fall after 72 Tips for Academic Libraries in 72 Minutes and our November Book Club meeting on The Librarian's Guide to Homelessness, so it's a fantastic opportunity to learn a few things and commune with librarians around the world before workplaces quiet down for the winter holidays.
