Live-stream recording from a two-day webinar “Nordic Libraries Annual 2021”. This live streaming video includes a speech by Author and former Head Librarian and Director of the Finnish National Library Kai Ekholm “How the Nordic freedom of speech makes a difference?”
At the end of the presentation, moderator of the conference Päivi Jokitalo interviews Ekholm and reviews the comments and questions from the conference’s followers.
On 2021 the conference was organized online from 3rd to 4th of November, and the focus was on libraries and democracy. According to many Nordic library policies, the task of libraries is to ensure citizens’ equal access to knowledge, education, culture, and new citizenship skills. The work carried out by libraries should support inclusiveness, community, and opportunities for making an impact, to strengthen social cohesion and the readiness of citizens to assume social responsibility.
