β€ͺ@mmelibrarian.bsky.social's talk at #nasig2026 giving life. I was taught the Five Laws and noted their ongoing truth but rarely hear them mentioned, and they certainly weren't framed as the enduring and radical declaration they were (and are). I alwasy talk about community; the five laws walk it.‬

So excited to see everyone next week at the NASIG 41st Annual Conference in Madison, WI! πŸŽ‰ June 2–4 at the beautiful University of Wisconsin–Madison Memorial Union β€” it's going to be a fantastic few days of great programming, conversations, and community.
