Rebuilding Beirut's libraries

ILIG Informal via Zoom, Wednesday 15th September, 18:00

CILIP International Library & Information Group (ILIG) extends a warm welcome to our  Informal on Wednesday, 15th September, 18:00 to 19:00.

Attendance is FREE but we need you to register in advance.  Randa Al Chidiac, Patricia Rahme and Ali Sabbagh will be talking about libraries in Lebanon following the blast in 2020.  After the August 4 2020 blast, libraries in Lebanon decided to brush off the dust, remove the rubble and glass, and tend to their injured staff and users. Librarians started looking into best plans for a return to service and the Lebanese Library Association joined them on the journey.

Randa is Vice-President & PR Coordinator, Lebanon Library Association  

Patricia is a lecturer in Library and Information Science in the Faculty of Information at the Lebanese University and is the Public library coordinator at Assabil

Ali is Executive Coordinator of Assabil.

ILIG Informals are not lectures; they are informal, a short talk on a theme of international interest plus plenty of time for questions. They are open to all and absolutely free, but you need to register. You will then be contacted with a link to join the informal by Zoom.
