People, and their labor, are the core of academic libraries. This work can be exciting, monotonous, high stakes, invisible, precarious, invigorating, and exhausting. Like other forms of labor, work in academic libraries has changed dramatically since the advent
of the pandemic, and continues to change.</p>

This conference is an opportunity to explore the different ways in which we engage with our work. How does your library ensure that others understand and value the labor that goes into providing library services and maintaining library collections? How does
your institution value and engage all the workers in your library, including student workers? How do you work during a time of social and political anxiety that has direct ramifications for library workers and library patrons? What does it mean to ensure
that your libraries are more equitable places in a time of “DEI work”? What strategies do you use to manage your workload and protect your personal and professional boundaries? What work are you proud of and why?</p>

A note about location. Historically, in the years when the ALD/ACRL-WA and ACRL-OR Joint Fall Conference was held in Washington it has been held at Pack Forest, near Eatonville, WA. Based on feedback from previous years, and the impact of the pandemic, the
division has decided to move the conference to Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA. We are excited for this new chapter in the Conference’s history, and hope you are as well.</p>
