Episode 74: Support for Ukraine

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has dominated headlines this year. The ongoing war has affected people globally, including American librarians and their work. In Episode 74, the Call Number podcast team looks at the ways the profession is supporting Ukraine. First, Call Number host Diana Panuncial speaks with Kristin Parker, lead curator and manager of the arts at Boston Public Library. Parker is part of a network of first responders working against the clock to preserve Ukraine’s cultural history and provide preservation advice to library workers on the ground. Next, American Libraries Editor and Publisher Sanhita SinhaRoy speaks with Michael Dowling, director of ALA’s International and Chapter Relations Office, about the Association’s Ukraine Library Relief Fund and how donations are being used. Finally, Panuncial talks to Millicent Mabi, director of community engagement and programming at Regina Public Library in Saskatchewan, about how her institution is helping Ukrainian refugees—from teaching them English to improving their literacy to connecting them with community resources. Next month’s episode will focus on library design and architecture. We’d like to know: What design feature do you love best at your local library and why? Email us your answer or leave us a voicemail at 312-280-4218 and your submission could be featured. Is there a story or topic you’d love to hear us cover? Reach out and let us know. You can also follow us on Twitter and SoundCloud and leave a review on iTunes.
