Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute Colorado Dialogue on Public Libraries is a multi-stakeholder forum to identify strategic opportunities presented by the state’s public libraries in response to the educational, economic, social and technological transformations that are taking place across Colorado. Participants will identify models for community-library partnerships and innovation that are working well now, develop recommendations to strengthen existing initiatives and consider what new proposals, networks or partnerships might be considered to exploit new efficiencies and strengthen community resilience and sustainability.The Aspen Institute Colorado Dialogue on Public Libraries is a multi-stakeholder forum to identify strategic opportunities presented by the state’s public libraries in response to the educational, economic, social and technological transformations that are taking place across Colorado.
