Our community library collective started with such passion about creating an alternative knowledge space, but six months in we're fracturing over fundamental questions about collection development, access policies, and decision-making. Some want to focus on radical texts and marginalized voices, others want broader community appeal, and we can't seem to have these conversations without people getting defensive or walking away.
More people experience this than they realize.
Shared vision around knowledge access reveals deeper fault lines about whose voices matter, how decisions get made, and whether compromise dilutes purpose or enables sustainability.
“Where Are You with Libraries and knowledge preservation?”
Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
