LibGuides: Library Summit on Social Cohesion: Video Project

Together We Thrive: Libraries as Catalysts for Social Cohesion

Hosted on Friday, April 11, 2025 at the Devens Common Center

In collaboration with the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) and Simmons University School of Library and Information Science, the Massachusetts Library System (MLS) is excited to announce the Library Summit on Social Cohesion!

Massachusetts libraries strengthen the social fabric of our communities!

Tell us about how your library strengthens your community's social fabric.

We invite Massachusetts libraries to submit a short video (1-minute or less) quickly highlighting how your library builds social cohesion. The Massachusetts Library System (MLS) will select clips from the videos to create a short compilation video.

The video will be posted on the MLS Vimeo channel, shared on our social media, and potentially featured at our Annual Meeting.

Submit your video on our shared folder.

Submissions close on Sunday, June 8. When creating your video, please keep the following in mind:

If you're using a phone camera, hold the phone horizontally.
Keep it short and sweet! Share your thoughts in a minute or less.
