IFLA ASIA-PACIFIC REGIONAL WEBINAR ON LIBRARIES
& THE SDGS
26 February, 2021 - 6PM-8PM 

The Library and Information Association of New Zealand (LIANZA) is delighted to host the mid-term webinar for IFLA Regional Standing Committee for Asia and Oceania (RSCAO).

Library communities world-wide are engaged in responding to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. We are excited to provide this webinar to share stories, successes and challenges from library leaders from across the Asia and Pacific region.

Our five speakers will focus on the contribution of libraries globally and in densely populated countries of mainland Asia and the smaller widely-dispersed populations of the Pacific.

This Zoom webinar is offered virtually to IFLA members and other library professionals throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Participants in New Zealand can attend by Zoom or in-person in Wellington.

This event will be recorded and made available on the LIANZA YouTube channel.
