Caelin Ross writes: “Belonging is often described as a feeling—something we either experience or lack, as if it is found by chance rather than actively created. But belonging is built through care, attention, and the often-invisible work of those who make room for others. Moments of transition make that labor visible, inviting us to pause and give flowers thoughtfully while we can. This piece is a reflection on what it means to build belonging through librarianship, and on the communities and colleagues who make that work possible.”
