Public libraries and faith-based organizations join forces to address homelessness
by Mohan Hr 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Public libraries and faith-based organizations join forces to address homelessness Public libraries offer free services, regardless of socio-economic, housing and citizenship status, age, gender, ability, religion, sexual orientation, race or culture. Often described as a “community hub <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2009.07.008>,” public libraries bring people together from all walks of life. Nevertheless, they must balance their enormous mandate to address the informational, learning and leisure needs of diverse populations with bounded resources. Looking for creative ways to strengthen social infrastructure for marginalized groups may be an important step towards building a more equitable society post-COVID-19. https://theconversation.com/public-libraries-and-faith-based-organizations-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
