LIBRARIES, DEVELOPMENT
AND THE UN 2030 AGENDA
TAKE ACTION!
Library asociations and the library sector
can take the lead…
• They can increase the community’s awareness of
the SDGs
• They can work towards making the SDGs
mainstream in society
• They can talk up the real value of library activities
and demonstrate how these are aligned with the
UN 2030 Agenda

and assess where to pitch libraries’ role
• Build cross-sector alliances with development
organisations to solve problems – think outside the library
community
