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!  

This in-person event will provide a nourishing day for library staff to strengthen relationships within our profession and to support our important role fostering social connection in our communities.   

By the end of the summit, participants will be able to:  

  • Describe how librarians can foster social connections in their communities.  

  • Discuss strategies to strengthen library staff wellbeing and collective care.  

  • Apply a 4-step process to develop a relationship-driven library.
