Does your library foster civic engagement?
By Donna DiMichele | August 24, 2011
The ALA Center for Civic Life is mapping civic engagement activities in libraries and wants your help! The Center is interested in learning more about more about civic/community engagement activities in libraries.
ALA urges librarians to complete the survey so the Center can use the data to map their civic activities, highlight the important work undertaken by libraries, and create linkages among similarly minded local and national groups. Recently, the Center partnered with a number of civic organizations to foster community engagement; among them: the American Democracy Project; America Speaks; the Urban Libraries Council; and Journalism that Matters. the ALA Center for Civic Life will continue to identify local partners involved with civic life as well as link up with national organizations pursuing similar civic goals.
