Summary:

"What roles do libraries play in supporting artistic expression? For librarian-artists, how does artistic practice influence their work as librarians and vice versa? And how does social justice, especially feminism, intersect with both artistic practice and librarianship? This edited collection consists of chapters by librarians who work as artists as well as those who work extensively with artists or arts practitioners. They discuss the intersection of their work as librarians with their artistic practice, including the role that social justice and feminism play in both arenas, and the significance of the arts in contentious times. Nina Clements earned an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and an MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of the chapbook Set the Table and the poetry collections Our Mother of Sorrows and Choosing the Lake. Her poems have appeared in the Bellevue Literary Review, Spillway, Prairie Schooner, and other places. Originally from Pittsburgh, she lives in Madison, Wisconsin." -- Publisher's description.
