BACKGROUND

In February and March 2021, Library Director Susan Anderson, working with a team of librarians from across the country through the platform Wikiwisdom, created and then presented a report to the American Library Association and the Library of Congress’ Kluge Center on the library’s role in combatting mis/disinformation and helping the greater community find common ground in shared facts.
