Join us! Together From Home: Libraries Strong + Brave Librarians

 Dear colleagues, 

 

I am delighted to invite you to join us at Together From Home! Two free, global and formative events presented by REFORMA featuring talks and interactive conversations about priority areas brought up by the pandemic. The events seek to help libraries and librarians serve communities deeply impacted during COVID-19, its aftershocks, and beyond. We are thrilled to present guest expert speakers from different regions of the world!

 

REFORMA is the National Library Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking.
