Overview

What is slow librarianship? Julia Glassman first brought up the term slow librarianship in the 2017 article, ""The Innovation Fetish and Slow Librarianship: What Librarians Can Learn from the Juicero."" Since then, Meredith Farkas has defined slow librarianship as ""an antiracist, responsive, and values-driven practice that stands in opposition to neoliberal values. Workers in slow libraries are focused on relationship-building, deeply understanding and meeting patron needs, and providing equitable services to their communities."" Slow Librarianship: Reflections and Practices is an edited book that compiles chapters from librarians working in many different libraries throughout the United States, Canada, and Italy. The authors describe what slow librarianship means to them in their work and roles while sharing concrete practices and ways to enact the tenets of slow librarianship in your work.
