Join us for a conversation about recent organizing in academic libraries! Speakers will share experiences, strategies, lessons learned, and things they wish they knew during recent union campaigns and organizing. Form closes on Wednesday, September 6th at 11:55pm. All non-supervisory library workers are more than welcome, but the panel and discussion will be focused on professional librarian positions.
