We are the Public Librarians’ Interest Group of the British Columbia Library Association in British Columbia, Canada.
Our goal is to provide leadership in developing professional public librarianship, and to promote the interests of professional librarians in British Columbia.
The group will seek to:
- advocate for public librarians
- promote professional development and continuing education for public librarians
- encourage and foster collegial collaboration
- promote networking and mentoring opportunities
- respond to challenges and opportunities occurring within the profession and to encourage discussion of professional issues
- defend the traditional and vital role of public librarianship in a democratic society
The goal of this blog is to open a dialogue about public librarianship – the changes we are seeing, the importance of what we do, the threats and opportunities for our profession.
We welcome all viewpoints but reserve the right not to publish any post or comment that could be considered slanderous toward an individual or that does not constructively further discussion on the subject of public librarianship – ie. no expletives, no unresolvable debates, no personal attacks.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
