Hi all,<br>
<br>
Writing to see if we could host an American Library Association<br>
unconference at Noisebridge for two days during the week of June 25-31.<br>
I can't make this week's Tuesday meeting, but should be able to make<br>
next week's. I'm not a member, so I'm a little dim about how to get<br>
something on the calendar :)<br>
<br>
At the unconference we'd like to focus on activist-librarianship,<br>
access, social justice, digital privacy, and issues related to sharing<br>
and copyright. While so many librarians are in SF for the ALA<br>
conference, we'd like to host an alternative gathering for topics under<br>
discussed or overlooked at the main event.<br>
<br>
I'm organizing this as part of the Library Freedom Project<br>
(<a href="https://libraryfreedomproject.org/" target=_blank>https://libraryfreedomproject.org/</a>). The website is still under<br>
construction, but here's the project description:<br>
<a href="https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/submissions/the-library-freedom-project-bringing-privacy-education-and-digital-tools-to-local-communities-through-libraries" target=_blank>https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/submissions/the-library-freedom-project-bringing-privacy-education-and-digital-tools-to-local-communities-through-libraries</a><br>
<br>
Best, April<br>
<br>
