Abstract

Values. A set of universalizing concepts that were once so much a given in that it nearly felt provincial to discuss them within librarianship; of course, we all supported access, inclusion, and the freedom to read; of course, the American public “ just loved libraries” and would support our work. And yet, here we are—our pretense of shared values has been shaken to its core, and the foundations of librarianship are crumbling beneath our feet.
