Abstract
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes that access to information is crucial. It empowers people to exercise their political and socio-economic rights, to be economically active, to learn new skills and to hold their governments to account. Libraries provide an avenue to achieve ubiquitous public access to the Internet and to ensure that people have the skills they need to access information through technology. The Dynamic Coalition on Public Access in Libraries developed the Principles on Public Access in Libraries endorsed by the Governing Board of IFLA.
