Honestly, a lot of wellness in the workplace stuff makes me annoyed, but this is really solid…library work specifics…looks at institutional changes needed, ways to demand that rest to build creativity/etc properly…looks at why you may still be stressed despite “self care”…good read.

"You are not only custodians of books; you are custodians of trust, of truth, and of our shared potential" 175 Years since the Public Libraries Act - GOV.UK

CILIP & 6 partners wrote @ Chancellor welcoming £10m investment in school libraries & offering support from our expert members to max long-term impact, & outlined how support for school/public librarians, & School Library Services could do even more for kids e.g. www.greatschoollibraries.org.uk

Today our CEO @louiscoiffait-gunn.bsky.social attended a landmark event celebrating 175 years of the Public Libraries Act at Manchester Central Library with Baroness Twycross and other sector leaders. The event also marked the launch of the sector's new Libraries Alliance pledge.

World Economic Forum's report on media & information literacy, with libraries featured throughout www.weforum.org/publications....

We 💯% agree with our President ⤵️ #GreatSchoolLibraries need trained library staff.

200 books in an alcove under a stairwell do not a Library make. School librarians equip children with the literacy skills to learn, relax & find information we need for fulfilled lives & to be informed citizens. Every child deserves a Great School Library. @cilip.bsky.social tinyurl.com/5y67h3yt

Wishing everyone at @cilip.bsky.social conference this weekend the best of times. So sorry not to be able to join you. It's all about Connecting, Influencing and Inspiring. Go To It colleagues.
