I had the privilege of speaking in the beautiful RIA on Tuesday at the A&SL Conference 2026, Reimagining Librarianship. Drawing on my transition from academic librarian, I reflected on how librarianship continues to shape my professional practice, even outside a traditional library setting. #ASL2026
