I recently spoke with Gretjen Clausing, host of the Pulling Focus radio show/podcast that zooms in on what's happening in film and digital media culture in Philadelphia and beyond.
We enjoying a sprawling conversation about the challenges of caring for family archives, the paradox of Marie Kondo tidying impulses versus the value of saving things, and how radical librarianship can be a immense power and responsibility.

One of my passion projects is running The Library Collective, a small non-profit dedicated to innovative librarianship. At the heart of our efforts is a unique style of collaboration. So, my co-founder, Corey Halaychik, and I penned a column for the journal of Collaborative Librarianship that outlines how we use (and don’t use) collaboration to create a professional development environment that embraces creativity, celebrates failure, and doesn’t cost a fortune.

You can catch me Saturday, January 12, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM at Scribe Video Center for a hands-on workshop about how best to care for your beloved mementos, such as photos, documents, and films.
