The Front Line of Civic Engagement
Carolyn Foote
Knowledge Quest, v51 n2 p40-47 Nov-Dec 2022
The American Association of School Librarians reached out to four organizations on the front lines of civic engagement--the Anti-Defamation League, the Human Rights Campaign, EveryLibrary, and the American Library Association--with questions to assist school librarians as they plan their civic engagement path: (1) What is the importance of civic engagement in terms of school libraries? (2) What are some impactful ways that school librarians can get engaged in their communities? (3) In this heightened environment, since school libraries represent all, what advice do you have for school librarians in terms of civic engagement? and (4) What are ways your organization helps support civic engagement? [Respondents include Jinnie Spiegler, Ellen Kahn, John Chrastka, and Megan Cusick.]
