After two very practical talks aimed at library students, the English language minitalks focus primarily on the how librarians and libraries have responded to the four wrenching and simultaneous crises of 2020 (and continuing) that we have all had to live through:

- Sustained protests against an epidemic of police killings
- Exploding unemployment, poverty and homelessness
- The crescendo of “fake news,” social polarization and loss of social trust
