Building strong communities: unleashing the potential of libraries to build
community capacity, engagement and identity

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Public Libraries Section in collaboration with The Regional Library
Scania,
Malmö City Library and The Swedish Arts Council are organizing a satellite
meeting in Malmo, Sweden August 7 – 10, 2010. The event will precede the
annual World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference
and Assembly in Gothenburg 10-15 August.

THEME

The general theme of the conference is libraries role in building strong
communities: unleashing the potential of libraries to build community
capacity,
engagement and identity

BACKGROUND

Increasingly libraries, especially public libraries, are recognised as
having a
valuable role to play in community development through building capacity,
enabling social engagement and fostering a sense of identity within the
communities they serve. Through libraries individuals and groups increase
their
skills and confidence, develop their sense of identity and belonging,
participate
in first culture retention, and access the memories that define who we are.
Libraries take action to offer equity of opportunity for all. They do this
through
their services, collections, programmes and places. These activities support
economic, cultural and social well-being. Librarians have considerable
expertise
in designing programmes to achieve outcomes in these areas.

OBJECTIVE

The objective is to acknowledge and celebrate librarians’ expertise by
sharing
ideas, broadening awareness, and visiting some best practice examples, and
above all to inspire. The programme will encourage and resource librarians
to
position their library services as part of a multi-faceted response to wider
community development needs. This will influence decision makers to
recognise and strengthen the critical role that libraries play in society.

SUBJECT OF PAPERS:

-          The library’s impact and social role in the community

-          Best innovative practice from public libraries according to the
description of theme and background

-          Political processes leading to successful libraries
