Please join us for the fall meeting of the Maine Library Advisory Council.

The highlight of the program will be a presentation by Dr. Darren Ranco*. In this presentation, Dr. Ranco will explore the role of Indigenous Nations in Climate Justice and land back movements as well as the climate change impacts to the Wabanaki Tribal Nation and their cultural and policy responses. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of Wabanaki diplomacies and knowledge traditions as critical to the response of Wabanaki Nations to the climate crisis.

The new region representatives will also be announced during this meeting. 

This will be a Hybrid meeting (in-person at a regional hub library and virtual for the plenary speaker).

Attendees will select one of the hub libraries to attend in-person. During the program hubs will zoom together for the plenary speaker followed by local discussion and activities. At the close of the meeting, hubs will zoom together again for a share-out and final group discussion.

Regional Hub Libraries: 

• Mark and Emily Turner Memorial Library in Presque Isle
• Bangor Public Library
• Maine State Library
• Portland Public Library

If you only want to join for the speaker session you can join virtually. You can select this option during registration. Zoom information will be sent to you prior to the event.
