To learn about our International Peace Day initiative, visit librariesforpeace.org. This website is for librarians worldwide to learn about what libraries are doing to promote peace, how they can initiate their own efforts, and where these actions are taking place;
to discuss and share ideas of libraries and peacebuilding; and to serve
as an information hub for an international library celebration and
action day for peace.
JOIN this Libraries for Peace (L4P) movement by going to the website to:
Celebrate Library for Peace (L4P) Day on 21st September, 2016 (International Day of Peace)
- Pledge to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
- Share your story of how you and/or your library are working toward building a peaceful and sustainable local and global community.
The Libraries for Peace web portal was created to advance the mission of the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs,
which for the past 25 years, has worked to strengthen international
ties among libraries and librarians worldwide for the promotion of
international education, understanding, and peace. Libraries as
information, education and cultural centers have a role in advancing
peace internationally.
