100 years IFLA

On 30 September 2027, IFLA will turn 100 – a major anniversary for any organisation. This is already a reference point in our work and communication, something that will be growing as the centenary approaches.
On this webpage, we will highlight IFLA100-related projects, share progress, and opportunities for further engagement.
