Library Foundation of Los Angeles President and CEO Stacy Lieberman and City Librarian John Szabo will discuss the critical services of the public library that signify a well-functioning civil society and a flourishing democracy. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion, moderated by host of LAist’s All Things Considered Austin Cross, and learn how the partnership between the Los Angeles Public Library and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles supports libraries’ roles as hubs for community engagement, intellectual freedom, and civic empowerment. In a major election year, how can the Los Angeles Public Library continue to foster inclusion, free access to information, and democratic ideals while facing unprecedented new challenges?
