Abstract

This toolkit is the revised version of the toolkit published in October 2015: “Libraries, Development and the Implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda” which updated and replaced the toolkit “Libraries and the post-2015 development agenda” (January 2015). Both earlier toolkits remain online for reference purposes only: https://www.ifla.org/publications/7409 2 https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld. Clearly involvement in other government policy planning also offers opportunities to win recognition and support for libraries. 3 https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs Libraries make an important contribution to development. The purpose of this toolkit is to support advocacy for the inclusion of libraries and access to information as part of formal national and regional development plans that will contribute to meeting : Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
