• About

  We are six librar­i­ans work­ing in aca­d­e­mic, pub­lic, and school libraries across the United States. In addi­tion to essays by its founders, In the Library with the Lead Pipe will fea­ture arti­cles by guests rep­re­sent­ing spe­cial libraries and archives, as well as edu­ca­tors, admin­is­tra­tors, library sup­port staff, and com­mu­nity mem­bers. If you want to sub­mit a guest post, see our sub­mis­sion guide­lines.

  In the Library with the Lead Pipe is intended to help improve our com­mu­ni­ties, our libraries, and our pro­fes­sional orga­ni­za­tions. Our goal is to explore new ideas and start con­ver­sa­tions; to doc­u­ment our con­cerns and argue for solu­tions. Each arti­cle is peer-reviewed by at least one exter­nal and one inter­nal reviewer.

  See our bios (linked in the side­bar) for infor­ma­tion about indi­vid­ual authors.
