Dear colleagues,

IFLA’s Management of Library Associations Section (MLAS) in 
collaboration with the New Professionals Special Interest Group (NPSIG) 
and IFLA Regional Divisions is proud to announce a webinar series on the 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Library Associations.

The United Nations has stated that the world is in the last Decade of 
Action to meet the SDGs. Libraries are sustainable accelerators. Library 
associations are key in moving forward the library agenda in each 
country. MLAS mission is to build and support strong library 
associations. Collaborating together with other IFLA groups and regions 
of the world, this activity will allow us to support national library 
associations highlighting effective strategies that will equip them to 
help their country to achieve development.

The webinar series “Sustainable Development Goals and Library 
Associations” follows the IFLA /Strategic Direction 1.1 Show the power 
of libraries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals/. A working 
group from MLAS in collaboration with IFLA New Professionals SIG and 
IFLA Regional Divisions will coordinate webinars about various top 
topics resulting from a survey MLAS carried out during 2020-2021.  The 
webinar format includes interactive opportunities to engage attendees in 
conversations in languages spoken in the regions.

Our webinar series will be presented between January and June 2023.  
Stay tuned for more news. Follow MLAS on Facebook and Twitter. Link to
