- a critique of library history as it is currently conducted, pointing out the borders of habit, familiarity, and bias that thwart diversity within library and information studies;
- stories of the community-based activism that has been key to battling the “epistemicide” that can undermine collective understandings about the world and the interests of African American library users;
- profiles of current Indigenous library practitioners who are both documenting and creating library history;
- a grassroots movement to create a comprehensive collection related to the theology and practice of the Society of Mary at the time of great ecclesiastical and liturgical changes;
- histories of the innovations which led to the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services and the Instruction Section of ACRL;
- using the “due date” as a lens for understanding how patrons and the general public feel about the role of libraries and their rules in the lives of average Americans;
- how the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act influenced the work of research libraries that collected materials from the Communist Bloc; and
- a primer on conducting research in library history that will allow readers to explore how libraries in their own communities have affected the lives of their users.
