Understanding that urban libraries serve their communities in ways that adjust as their environments change, ULC undertakes strategies and projects which inform members understandings of the forces and factors which will affect their environments in the future. Connections are sought with key participants in various arenas of significant change including technology, governance, and community services. ULC is committed to flexibility and strategic opportunism, balanced by a mindfulness of member s priorities and diversity. Closed email lists, awards for best practices, a monthly newsletter, and various working groups ensure timely, effective communication in priority areas. The ULC Executive Board and working groups meet in conjunction with the Midwinter and Annual Meetings of the American Library Association.
All meetings are open and observers are welcome.
