Simmons Progressive Librarians Guild
The Simmons chapter of the Progressive Librarians Guild is a student organization committed to inscribing the struggle for social justice at the center of the library profession. We believe that cataloging, indexing, acquisitions policy and collection development, reference services, library automation, library management, and virtually every other library issue embody political value choices. We aim to make these choices explicit, and to carry out our professional responsibilities in a way that helps to realize a freer, more democratic world.
The Simmons chapter of PLG is proudly affiliated with the Progressive Librarians Guild.

[edit] PLG Goes 2.0...
- In response to significant interest from you, our members, PLG has launched a brand-new review blog called PLG Reads. Have a book, film, or other "information package" that you'd like to review? Email Erin at harper at simmons dot edu. It doesn't need to be fancy, it doesn't need to be Marxist criticism--we'd just love to hear about what you're reading and how it speaks to you as a rising progressive librarian.
- Is there a progressive organization or resource in/around Boston that you want to tell us about? Go to Progressive activities in and around Boston and share with the PLG community. Put the name of the organization, linked to their website if possible, and a brief description of what they're all about.
