You are invited to the Progressive Library
Skillshare, hosted by the SIS Graduate Student Organization
and the Student Chapter of the American Library Association. Planned
for September 7 & 8, this free event will bring together
library workers, library lovers, zine enthusiasts, book
artists, publishers, and community members to explore
the relationship between library work and social justice,
alternative information resources and socially responsible
ways to share information in our communities. This
series of events will encourage attendees to think critically
about information: how it’s produced, distributed,
and consumed. For more details, visit
