Seguimos Creando Enlaces Conference By Dr. Regina Gong , Associate Dean for Student Success and Strategic Initiatives This year, I had the honor of delivering the keynote address at the 12th Seguimos Creando Enlaces (We Continue Creating Connections) Binational Conference, held during spring break in Copley Library’s Mother Rosalie Hill Reading Room. For the first time since its inception, the conference took place in an academic library, making it an honor for Copley to serve as the host. This year’s theme, “Unidos en la Diversidad: Embracing all Voices,” brought together around 125 librarians and library workers from public, academic, and special libraries on both sides of the U.S.– México border. Participants shared literacy initiatives and explored ways to build meaningful connections through inclusion, play, and community support. My presentation, “Building Connections, Inspiring Partnerships, and Uplifting Communities: The Enduring

Regina Gong with Ady Huertas, Chair of the Creando Enlaces Conference and SDPL Youth, Family, & Equity Program Manager

Mission of Libraries,” affirmed the vital role libraries play as bridges, catalysts for collaboration, and agents of empowerment. The sessions were presented in both English and Spanish and included live translation. The connection with Seguimos Creando Enlaces comes from Copley’s partnership with the San Diego Public Library.
