OLA SRRT

OLA SRRT The OLA SRRT provides a place for the Oregon library community to discuss and learn about how we can serve our communities in a socially responsible way.

OLA Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT)

Being socially responsible implies that we have an ethical obligation to act in the best interest of those in our society. The SRRT provides a place for discussion and learning about how we can serve our communities in a socially responsible way. Respect for diversity, equitable service, and understanding needs-in-context through community involvement are core values of this round table.

Today is National Library Outreach Day, a day we celebrate libraries and library workers bringing the library to the people!

From bookmobiles and pop-ups to home delivery and library services for the incarcerated, library outreach meets communities where they are and ensures access to knowledge, connection, and care—no matter the barriers.

Connect with your library today and everyday, wherever you find it in your community!

National Library Outreach Day is coordinated in collaboration with the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services and the Association of Rural and Small Libraries.

It's National Library Workers Day - our favorite day of National Library Week!

Today we celebrate the hardworking, dedicated library professionals who power possibility in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our places of higher learning. As library workers across the U.S. continue to face challenges to their jobs and harassment from bad actors, it's essential we show up for them and voice our support for the work they do every day.

Thank you, library workers - libraries work because YOU do!
