<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thursday, November 12, 11:00-12:30, Workshop Room 6<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">How do we ensure that we connect the next billion, in absence of technology and connectivity that can reach every individual, globally? The Dynamic Coalition on Public
Access in Libraries believes that this will only be possible when we recognize the value of the institutions that we already have in our communities for connecting people and information: 320,000 public libraries.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Dynamic Coalition is presenting a statement of principles for feedback during the 2015 IGF main sessions that proposes the critical role of libraries for connecting
communities and individuals. In preparation for taking action on these principles, panelists at the DC-PAL workshop will discuss how organizations are connecting communities, and provide examples of actions that each stakeholder group can take so that libraries
can realize their potential to connect the next billion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Following this discussion, participants will participate in planning the work of the DC-PAL in 2016. The coordinators propose that the objective of 2016 will be to
agree upon three concrete actions that members of each stakeholder group can take to further the principles of promoting connectivity, access and media and information literacy through libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
