IFLA Previews 2026 Activities in President's Message
IFLA president Leslie Weir issued a message to kick off 2026, stating in part:Even in the first days of the year, global events have shown that we cannot expect 2026 to be any less unpredictable or calm than what has come before. At such a time, we need to be bold—in our thinking, in our planning and service development, and in our advocacy. We cannot just ‘hope for the best’, but must rather mobilise to make the best happen. IFLA is there to support libraries in doing this. While of course the actions we take will look different from one context to the next, IFLA can and should be a source of insight, inspiration and impetus. … A particular highlight of [World Library and Information Congress 2026] will be the launch of our centennial year—IFLA100. Alongside my colleagues on the Governing Board, I see this as an opportunity really to ‘think big’ about our Federation, our wider field, and the world we want to see.
