Fall Education Series - Slow Librarianship

Please join us on Wednesday, December 1, at 11 a.m. PT (12 p.m. MT, 1 p.m. CT, 2 p.m. ET) for a discussion with Meredith Farkas about Building a Better Collective Future with Slow Librarianship, the perfect antidote when achievement, productivity, and external validation have left you hollow and yearning for more reflection, collaboration, and inclusion (see attached flyer). Slow librarianship offers a path to a radical new future with more meaningful values-driven work and relationships, and thankfully Meredith has the map.
