Keynote: Collective Action, Collective Good: Organizing for Change at Work 

Want higher wages, better work-life balance, and more support for initiatives and projects? It can be hard to get what we need at work when we try to go it alone. It’s easy to say no to one of us! Pushing for change as a part of a group offers a better way. Join Emily Drabinski for a discussion of how we can work together to build libraries that work for all of us.

Emily Drabinski is the Critical Pedagogy Librarian at the Mina Rees Library at the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) and President Elect (2023-2024) of the American Library Association
