This meeting of Librarians Anonymous is now in session! Join us as we delve into the personal experience of a librarian who came to the profession after serving in the United States Armed Forces. This 3rd generation librarian, who has chosen the alias, "Conan the Librarian" talks to us about their time in the army as a soldier and translator, their new profession as an online learning librarian, and some thoughts about the state of our society and the need to break down the barriers of toxic masculinity, patriarchy, and white supremacy as it exists in both worlds. 

This episode's quote:

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

― Terry Pratchett
