Lydia Willoughby (MA, MLIS) is an Assistant Librarian in the Research and Education Team at the Sojourner Truth Library at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Willoughby’s scholarship addresses identity and literacy in 19th Century literature and culture, the history of copyright in America, and critical literacy pedagogy. Her work is centered on the belief that access to information is a human and civil right, that information can make us more compassionate and joyful humans. In 2013, Willoughby was selected as one of Library Journals‘s “Movers & Shakers” in the community builder category for her advocacy work with rural public libraries in Vermont. She is founder and co-editor of the #PulseOrlandoSyllabus, a community-sourced reading list for healing in the wake of tragedy, and an ongoing project.
