Kula: Library Futures Academy

Nobody changes the world through office chit-chat. Right? 👀

Well, a friendly water cooler chat between UVic Libraries' Transgender Archives Metadata Librarian Michael Radmacher and Kula's first International Visiting Fellow @Lambo, head of the @tibosl at @tibhannover, eventually led to a transatlantic connection with the Queerbrarians — a European network of LGBTQIA+ library professionals.

The result: a growing international network of Queer & Trans+ colleagues who support each other's work to put LGBTQIA+ communities' voices at the center of how their histories are preserved and shared.

Oh, and: A special shout-out to Queerbrarian @fuzzyleapfrog for being one of hopefully many pillars-to-be that carry this exciting new transatlantic bridge 🙌 Thank you, Fuzzy!
