Catalog This: An Interview With Activist Librarian Jessamyn West
My favorite quote follows:
“Librarians are targeting their message to what people’s real concerns are, as opposed to “Literacy is good; libraries are good; books are good!” I don’t think we can just ride the wave of [telling people] “libraries are a good thing”, and expect that people are just going to fall in line and be delighted to have us around. … I think there’s a lot more of an aspect of proving ourselves. I don’t just mean “Libraries are great because we have an espresso cart”, but really trying to figure out what people’s needs are and trying to meet them.”
So true!!
