This semester’s weekly Libraries, Literatures, and Literacies Minitalks focus on “Libraries and Crisis”. What does it look like? How are libraries facing the situation? Speakers will include researchers, librarians, and students from the US and elsewhere. Most talks are Saturdays, 11:30 AM – 12:00 PM CDT.
On Saturday, August 27, our first speaker was Noah Lenstra (PhD, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Associate Professor, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, on “Putting Community First: A Crisis in Public Librarianship”. A video recording is available on the page of Minitalks for the Fall semester (please see below for link).
