hi there,

I’m an academic librarian at Thompson Rivers University where I run the TRU Library Makerspace. I also Co-Chair the Librarians’ Department. These days I am particularly interested in creating active learning spaces that foster belonging, sustainability, and ecological thinking.

This site is primarily a way for me to experiment with thinking-in-public and to archive projects.

  • Posts are thoughts about a thing or idea.
  • Weeknotes are a habit I’m trying to create where each week I quickly share some thoughts about what I am working on and some things I have been reading.

I miss when social media was at least useful, but you can find me on bluesky at @franklinsayre.bsky.social and I have a CV on LinkedIn that is probably out of date but if you want a response from me email is probably your best bet.
