Libraries are being called upon to reinvent their role as the great equalizers of society. Libraries are physical and digital “places” that support education for all ages. The library district our speaker represents has a focus in its Strategic Playbook 2026 that it will continue to forge powerful partnerships to create innovative programs that provide equity and access to all and address the digital divide in society. The district is “Reimagining the Library of the Future” to emerge within the community virtually, providing the tools for access, discovery, and delivery of knowledge—the evolution of a library so it is a continued vital member of the community. Get tips and ideas for doing the same in your community.
