Webinar: Civic Literacy in Public Libraries: Why, What, and How

Originally presented August 28, 2024

Civic literacy is one of IMLS's 21st Century Skills and is correlated with civic engagement. As a branch of information literacy, civic literacy could help increase critical thinking skills and combat mis/disinformation. But what, exactly, is civic literacy and how can public libraries develop engaging programming around this topic?

In this webinar, Laura Saunders defines civic literacy and explores some of the research on the topic before diving into specific ideas and examples for public library programming.
