I am excited to invite you to join the virtual Community Engagement Roundtables of the project Libraries as Partners for Emergency Preparedness and Response in Times of Crisis, an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded initiative to study how libraries partner with emergency responders during community-wide emergencies.
The second two-day roundtable discussion will take place on Tuesday, March 4, and Wednesday, March 5, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT both days. Registration to join the roundtable is free, and the event will occur on Zoom.
Participants in the roundtable will enjoy panel discussions by experts in the library and emergency-response fields and engage with each other in breakout sessions to share their own insights and experiences.
If you are interested in joining a roundtable, please complete the Google Form and select the Group B dates.
