About This Year's Conference Theme
Kupu
Kupu encompasses emergence, growth, and development, emphasizing the continuous cycle of life. It represents the processes of sprouting and opening. It signifies the natural progression and evolution of life that exists in all aspects of nature, with plants, animals, humans, communities, and ideas. It calls for renewal and regeneration, transformation and change, and cultural revival.
As we navigate the aftermath of an unprecedented pandemic, grapple with one of the most devastating fire disasters in U.S. history, and confront the challenges posed by book banning and threats to workers, it is crucial that we prioritize self-care. Maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being is essential as we work to rebuild facilities, restore library resources, and foster a positive outlook. Like the ʻaʻaliʻi, we have held fast against the harsh winds of culture wars that challenge our professional values and our commitment to uphold intellectual freedom and access to information.
Together, let’s take a deep, nourishing breath, remember what we cherish most about the work we do, celebrate our profession, and rekindle our passion for the services we provide to our communities.
