Webinar to feature discussion between ALA President and President-Elect  
Free webinar to feature ALA President and President-Elect discussing the focus 
of association, presidential initiatives  
 “Passing the Community Engagement Baton: A Conversation with ALA President 
Molly Raphael and ALA President-elect Maureen Sullivan,” hosted by ALA 2013-2014 
ALA President Barbara Stripling, features an unprecedented conversation among 
ALA leadership, focusing on the transition of presidential initiatives and a 
continued focus on civic engagement. It takes place on Friday, June 8 at 11:30 
a.m. Central time.
“The more we in libraries engage with the communities we serve, the better we 
can understand how the library can contribute to transforming those 
communities,” said 2011-2012 ALA President Molly Raphael. “By really 
understanding the priorities of communities, we can ensure that libraries 
contribute to communities thriving in the 21st century.
” Raphael started the conversation about harnessing the evolving role of 
libraries and strengthening the library’s understanding of community aspirations 
during her presidential year. This webinar allows attendees to be part of the 
conversation as ALA President Elect Maureen Sullivan looks to build on this idea 
of civic engagement during her presidential year, which begins at the close of 
the 2012 ALA Annual Conference in June.
“Libraries are central to community engagement and ALA is uniquely positioned to 
prepare its members in all types of libraries to be leaders in community 
collaboration to solve problems and improve the life of the community. Rich 
Harwood of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation will partner with ALA to 
develop an ALA program that will enable us to realize ‘the promise of libraries 
in transforming communities,’” said Sullivan.
Barbara Stripling is Co-Chair of Raphael’s Empowering Voices, Transforming 
Communities task force and was just elected ALA President for the 2013-2014 
year. She will facilitate this discussion on how to engage communities to 
advocate for libraries and their value based on factors that matter to 
communities and their leaders.
