Libraries Looking Forward
We asked four attendees from New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific who joined the recent LIANZA Libraries Looking Forward panel to report back and reflect on their personal highlights of the popular event.
New Zealand, Australia and Pacific nations are experiencing uncertainty as to what the ‘new normal’ could look like. There has been a wealth of inspiring kōrero about a post-COVID-19 recovery and the opportunity to build a society that prioritises our interconnections with each other and the planet.
This online LIANZA event explored how libraries are responding to the global pandemic, sharing different perspectives and providing new insights about the impact that libraries are making in our countries and regions. Our panel from ‘down-under’ discussed their ideas for the future, the opportunities that lie ahead and how we can work together to strengthen libraries to connect and power our communities.
