Open letter to : Hillary Pearson, American Library Association 

You rock!
Thank you for the resources and your valuable time and expertise. 

Hillary's story: witnessed a cousin navigate the system and saw the need for barriers to be removed. So she became a brilliant librarian. 

Passion: patron services and the ellimination of barriers.

Desires: 
*to see perspective shifts within systems, 
*to eliminate barriers from the beginning, not as an after though, 
*to have more opportunities to include people who are often unseen from the beginning so that they are part of the conversation and can have greater impact
