This paper addresses the emerging movement of contemplative pedagogy in higher education with an emphasis on academic librarianship. The authors posit how integrating mindfulness-based practices into pedagogy and programming builds resilience in students, creating meaning in an age of climate disruption, information overload and uncertain times. Examples of librarians' relevant professional development activities are also included. Library spaces offering mindfulness opportunities for students are explored and a contemplative-oriented, campus-wide collaboration centered on climate disruption is featured. Selected Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda are touched on, demonstrating how contemplative approaches in academic libraries support wellbeing, justice, community building and concern for the fate of the earth.

“…Undergraduate libraries have also long been facilities open to the idea of new services and partnerships, which have taken several forms over the years. Much has been written about the value of partnerships within the academic library setting generally, but McKinstry (2004) considered partnerships in the undergraduate library setting specifically, citing the library's strengths in being "respected for its honesty, strong sense of responsibility, responsiveness to the entire campus, and expertise in running big operations" (145). She also states that "undergraduate libraries are often seen as pioneers of change on campus, and are open to innovations that address demonstrated needs of the student" (McKinstry and McCracken 2002, 392).…”

The undergraduate library at major research universities, an historic product of the 1960s and 70s, now provides opportunities for leadership on numerous levels, particularly as universities deepen their commitment to the holistic experience of undergraduate students. Instead of focusing heavily on disciplinary research help or building research-level collections, the undergraduate library’s focus on teaching, learning spaces, and community fosters a crossroads of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation that inspires change across campus. Featuring examples drawn from Odegaard Undergraduate Library of the University of Washington, this article explores the value of leading from unexpected places to collaborate and build services and programs with lasting and catalyzing impacts.
