Event description
Never before in their long histories have the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Library and 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Community for Lifelong Learning been faced with this particular challenge of reaching out from afar. Yet both of their responses to the pandemic were quick, creative, and extensive, meeting the different needs of their respective communities. This conversation will explore their responses and how they transformed a period of isolation into an opportunity for connection and learning.
The 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Library in collaboration with the School of Continuing Studies.
