Public Libraries 2030 will work with libraries to promote participation and engagement in the upcoming European elections as an official partner of the European Parliament.
This year’s elections are critical with huge issues at stake for the future of the union such as the rise of populism and fake news, the erosion of democracy and, of course, Brexit. These are all issues that public libraries, as trusted institutions, are uniquely placed to address.
Public Libraries 2030, in partnership with IFLA and EBLIDA, will develop a range of tools and opportunities for libraries to explore these important issues at the heart of our European democracies.
This is the first initiative for Public Libraries 2030 and shows how the new organisation can help to create vital new projects and community services to tackle the global issues facing EU citizens.
