Fatmata McCormack will tell of her journey from Sierra Leone to working as a Learning Resources Specialist at USAID. Donna Scheeder, from the Library of Congress Congressional Research Service, will discuss how government libraries are using IFLA (The International Federation of Library Associations) as a global forum for common issues. The International Relations Committee (IRC) of DC/SLA will serve appetizers and drinks as part of our networking and greeting session before the speakers begin.
