Phil Morehart writes: “An ALA delegation attended the United Nations (UN) High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development last week to advocate for libraries as essential partners in advancing the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The delegation’s participation culminated July 15 at the public program ‘Libraries as Catalysts: Driving Equitable and Innovative Action for the SDGs,’ which explored how libraries contribute to resilient communities, informed decision making, sustainability, innovation, and global collaboration.” According to the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, one-third of countries reporting on SDGs highlighted the contribution of libraries.
