A key role of IFLA as the international organisation for libraries is to facilitate exchange between colleagues around the world. As part of its 2021-2023 action plan, the Regional Division Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean committed to facilitate 'pasantías' or job-shadowing schemes to allow people to spend time seeing how libraries in different countries in the region work. The results are now in!
The Ministry of Education of Ecuador is hosting the 4th seminar for public and school libraries working with the Centre for Reading Promotion for Latin America (CERLALC). IFLA is closely involved, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with CERLALC, and will present on the Public Library Manifesto.
IFLA’s Regional Division Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean has been active in supporting the Ecuadorian librarians’ association in fighting back against a proposal to close down library degree programmes in the country.
