While I am still hoping that The New York Times Opinion Section will provide the platform for a library worker to speak to Stanley Kurtz’s recent hit piece, The Battle for the Soul of the Library, I’m not waiting to respond myself. Please note, when they…

Published: January 28, 2021 20:42
Introduction A couple months ago, we all found out that another library had employed another white nationalist— he’d spoken at rallies– and I had just had it. It wasn’t a new problem or a new idea. Not for the first time, I thought “You can’t be this kind…

Published: June 25, 2020 08:47
By “Fix ALA” I don’t mean the conventional *cough, boring* way that I anticipate ALA will be simplified to continue its usual operations. To truly #FixALA is to transform ALA- and I do have some ideas about this. Disclaimer: I lay these burns because I…
