The "Open When" Letters
I watched a TikTok the other day about people bringing back the "Open When" letters. I did this activity damn near 10 years ago for a friend I truly admired. I kind of hope she still has them, I poured hours into making them for her. I brought it up to my partner and I decided to create him a set for his birthday that is rapidly approaching next month.

Burnout and Age Discrimination in Young Librarians and Library Workers
Audience Statement This paper is written with established librarians in the field in mind as its primary audience. It is an open discussion of an issue that exists blatantly and does not get enough attention. So much so that it was difficult to find supportive documents or those in the field willing to address it as a problem. As professionals in the field of Library and Information Science, part of that responsibility is to teach new entrants into the field, to engage with them, and in some cases, guide them. I am well aware how much is asked of librarians and library workers, but without them there would be no libraries, and without new and young people entering the field, there would be no one to work with to solve internal, systemic issues and problems and to help resolve some of the issues that lead to the burnout so prevalent among library workers. While reading this paper, I hope librarians who have been in the field for a time will reflect on the type of library they work in or what they do in the field, and how they and their coworkers treat young staff, fresh out of school or starting their workforce experience, and the part they might play in molding those people’s professional future in the field.
