Libraries and Social Responsibility: A National Conversation

June 2, 2010

CLA Pre – Conference in Edmonton

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on

the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining

the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question,

I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.”

—ALBERT EINSTEIN

A few of the questions that we will be addressing on June 2^nd include:

· What is adaptive learning?

· What is progress?

· What is the function of libraries in fostering community progress?

· What does it mean for a community to survive and thrive?

We are looking forward to starting this conversation. We will send out some background reading in the next couple of days to all those who have registered for the pre-conference.
