Join us for conversation on why have libraries become a point of tension and how we can respond? with Emily Drabinski, the president of the American Library Association and an associate professor of library and information science at the Queens College Graduate School of Library and Information Studies. We will discuss how libraries are vital to American democracy, and how we can support them. While they are currently sites of conflict, libraries also hold the key to bridging the nation’s divides. The event is co-sponsored by:  Public History Program • Department of History • University Libraries • Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities • Department of English • The Graduate School • Women Studies and Gender Studies
 
Thursday, April 18 • 6 to 7:30PM
