<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the summer a common theme shared among the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) and other SLA staff, was the responsibility libraries have to communicate the truth to its patrons and our community. COSLA is collaborating
with the New York Times to help bring clarity to this question. Please join us on
<b>Thursday, October 14<sup>th</sup> 330-5pm ET</b> to start the conversation on how this can be achieved.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Session Synopsis: Amidst a polarized national climate, both public libraries and journalism publications share a responsibility to inform the public and remain balanced. They both also work to foster community
and build bridges.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do they each navigate this responsibility? How do they champion the truth, while remaining balanced and providing a space for discourse? What is the importance of media literacy for the future? How do we vet the truth and grapple with
misinformation? <br>
<br>
We will hear from state librarians <b>Lauren Moore (NY)</b>, <b>Sara Jones (WA)</b>, and New York Times journalists on what it takes to champion the truth and serve readers and community members in this moment.<o:p></o:p></p>
