Full. Thank you. (January 30, 2022)

Libraries are places to connect people and information. Even in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, libraries around the world have continued to conduct their activities, informing people that “libraries are here for you”.
In a world where it has become increasingly difficult to meet in person, we wanted to provide an opportunity for our peers to learn about each other’s activities and encourage each other, so we planned an international online workshop to connect libraries in Japan, Asia and the United States.
Now that the post-pandemic world is in sight, why don’t we take a break here and talk about the future of libraries?

Venue    Feb.3rd. 2022 (Thu). 13:30-15:30 JST.
