Agenda
Collective Power for Collective Good
When power is concentrated in the hands of individual leaders, things can go very wrong. The Covid-19 pandemic put this in stark relief: administrators who chose to send library workers into buildings in the face of enormous health risk, staff fought back, organizing to keep themselves and their colleagues safe. It did not have to be that way. Sharing power in a democratic workplace can be better for everyone, inviting workers and bosses to collaborate on the big decisions that affect the institution and the communities they serve. Join a conversation about power in the library workplace and learn concrete strategies for building collective power for the collective good.
