The recently launched Library Futures Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the digital accessibility of libraries, brings both attention and resources to a wide variety of issues libraries are facing as technology use continues to grow, including how libraries can best handle digital lending and the impact publishers have when modifying ebook agreements with libraries. The organization also strives to create a community of transformation by bringing together coalition partners-such as SPARC, ReadersFirst, and Authors Alliance-that align with its overall mission. Library Futures Institute's executive director, Jennie Rose Halperin, combines her experience at Harvard Law School Library with her award-winning civic leadership skills to provide the organization with a clear direction: promoting equity in policy to best allow libraries to achieve success in an ever-changing world.
