I hadn't planned it this way, but current news events in libraryland combined with a wonderful conversation with Sarah McNicol, PhD (Editor of Critical Literacy for Information Professionals, for which I contributed a chapter based on my dissertation work) gave me the idea to go all-in on the theme of Critical Librarianship. As for the brief Olivia Newton-John interlude, sorrynotsorry. ;-)
