The library is one site of the encounter between self and text, body and page, mind
and word. The reading and thinking self dances among and between the ways of knowing
authorized by our collections.

I immediately saw fresh perspectives of how learners use what is in front of them
to absorb and understand information. I see libraries and librarians, both public
and school facilitating/supporting the needs of all types of learners. Allowing
the role school/public librarians play in advancing community needs is accepting
varying techniques of individual learners on a daily basis.

Here I am reminded of the way that traditional research and academic dialogue so
often demands scholars to neutralize their academic endeavors and wholly divorce
their identity from their writing. The drawing at the margins is almost a kind
of auto-ethnography that's seeking to reflect on the artist's past 'academic' identity
and reconnect or reconcile that era with their present, lived, corporeal self.
