This latest volume of the Advances in Librarianship series presents
original research exploring the modern state of democracies and
social institutions, the contributions of libraries to the health
and progress of democracies, and the political problems currently
facing libraries as institutions. It details the best practices of
library programs that provide political literacy education and
promote civic engagement within communities. These practices
include ways in which libraries can help diffuse political
polarization, address significant policy issues of our day, promote
political information literacy, support civic engagement, and
facilitate participation in democratic processes. Libraries and the
Global Retreat of Democracy: Confronting Polarization,
Misinformation, and Suppression is structured in three sections -
questions of personal and state democracy, investigations of how
the information infrastructure shapes these democracies, and
explorations of the ways that libraries can and do contribute to
democracy. Situating libraries within political conversations,
highlighting their centrality to these discussions, Libraries and
the Global Retreat of Democracy focuses on how libraries coordinate
their work in political and information literacy and how these
efforts can be improved, he recommendations and examples within
which will serve as inspiration and motivation to its readers.
