Lovely to see this little @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social book I contributed to in print! ✨

Three books in a pyramid on a white coverlet. The top book has a red cover with blacked out title and authors & is Censorship is a Drag. The bottom left book has an off white color with different color & thickness looping lines at the bottom and a big title that says “Preserving Disability” & small words “Disability & the Archival Profession”. The bottom right book has a blue purple green gradient cover with white letters that say “Trans and Gender Diverse Voices in libraries” & small white letters saying “edited by Keahi Adolpho, Steven G. Krueger, and Krista McCracken”

Sophie was working the @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social booth, & I was excited to find out all books were 50% off! Censorship is a Drag is sold out but you can order it at the dsct! I was even more jazzed to find these 2 books I’ve been wanting to read for a while! Small but good haul today #alaac25

That's such a good one! Glad you found it!

ChatGPT and the future of academia/education Labor, capitalism, and workforce/place issues (beyond LIS) Global impacts, including trade, mineral extraction, and other issues Applications in public policy and provision of public services Submission Process and Deadline Please submit your proposal using this form by June 18, 2025.
