Academic librarians face constant pressure from rapid change and endless to-do lists. Slow librarianship offers a values-driven alternative to the culture of busyness, centering intentionality, equity, and relationship-building over speed. This workshop introduces practices that resist toxic productivity and foster sustainability. Through reflection, zine-making, and discussion, participants will identify small shifts to incorporate slow librarianship into their work and libraries.
Learning Objective(s): 1) Participants will develop an understanding of the concept of slow librarianship; 2) Participants will create a plan on how to begin implementing slow librarianship in their work; and 3) Participants will identify at least one slow librarianship practice they can incorporate into their workday.
