It was such an honour to be awarded an honorary fellowship of @cilip.bsky.social . Julie Bell has been a true mentor to me, so to be awarded together was very special.

Are any of my #CILIP #Library friends going to this screening and Q&A in London Friday? releasing.dogwoof.com/the-libraria...

I get to see my friend today! What are you doing today?

My goodness, it's been emotional. Today was my last day working at CILIP. You can find my musings and heartfelt thanks here, if so inclined: www.linkedin.com/posts/jo-cor...

A huge thank you to my @cilip.bsky.social colleagues and @BetaRish for wrapping a most beautiful farewell into the presidential dinner. And thank you to the #CILIPConf25 for your kindness, grace and indulgence. It was perfect, I'm very moved. Tomorrow holds Michael Rosen and Gene Tan, what a dream!

psst... #CILIPConf25 delegates: Rishi Dastidar @betarish.bsky.social has a sharpie and will sign the copies of the poem for you today and tomorrow 😀 🎉

I can't express how much I love this beautiful capture of what we do as a profession and why it matters. Thank you to the incredibly talented and generous @betarish.bsky.social for the "poem for the profession"

...And here's the #CILIPConf25 poem in full with a video of Rishi reading it. Thank you Rishi - from all at Conference - and indeed the entire sector, for this beautiful gift of 'The Way, The Deep'. 💝 www.cilip.org.uk/news/704751/...

London, my enduring love, looking absolutely beautiful last night #London #Sunset

10 year old me can not believe she's been to this restaurant. It's the year of the snake 🐍 let's hope it's a good one.

Oh my goodness... at #LibraryOn advert on my podcast today. Made me very happy and proud. This podcast is massive too, so lots of people sharing the love! Rob Beckett has talked about the value of libraries on there before too ❤️📚 #ParentingHell #BritishLibrary

This is one of the most beautiful tributes to anyone I've ever seen. It's already been widely shared but just in case you missed it. #DavidLynch

This is so powerful. Libraries are beacons of knowledge, hope and sanctuary. They are ours by right; seen and valued. Libraries across the nation, lit up in support of #SpellowLibrary #ShareTheLight

It might be dark and cold, but libraries will always be the beacon of light. Balham Library is proud to #ShareTheLight on the eve of #SpellowLibrary reopening its doors after the summer riots. #LoveLibraries #LibrariesAreEssential ✨️📚🖤 @cilip.bsky.social @librariesconnected.bsky.social

Come on then, let's see them! 🎶🎵🎧🎉 Some influence from my offspring here (but not as much as you might think!) I only know 1 OR song 🤣 #Spotify #wrapped

Walking by day, lanterns by night. A happy Saturday yesterday

@markfaulkner24.bsky.social music challenges make me think of you! I tried this but failed at X

The wonderful Minnie Birch released new music today. It is beautiful. She'd be so delighted to share it with you open.spotify.com/track/3UlJc0...

Too many of my contemporaries are facing or recovering from some frightening illnesses. Fierce, beautiful and bright the lot of them. I'm sad and awed.

I loved the final 3 on GBBO and the final 4 on Drag Race. And although my favourites didn't win, I didn't mind. They all seemed to care so much for each other. Now what am I going to watch?!

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

Today marks my 1000th Wordle. I always share with my bestie, therefore forcing him to interact with me every day! I can not tell you how sick I am of my start word, but I daren't change now! Anyone else still on their original start word?!

Enjoying the volume of Higher Ed based content in the #GreenLibraries sessions I picked. UC Cork using the library as an exemplar for sustainability work across the campus. Portsmouth encouraging connection with architectural amd design courses as rich for exciting collaboration

From What Is to What If, based on Hopkins work at #GreenLibraries. Being introduced to Hopepunk explores resistance, rebellion and resilience as counters to apathy and cynicism.

Huge shout out to all the amazing #GreenLibraries partners. Making a real difference, together 💚🌍 Arts Council England, British Library, Libraries Connected, Julie's Bicycle, NHS England, RLUK, SCONUL, National Library of Scotland, CONUL, #CILIP Green champions all!

So many important #GreenLibraries strands in one brilliant campaign: 💚Greening our own spaces 💚Supporting our communities to lead of green projects 💚 Taking the lead on connecting people with the information and evidence we need to combat climate change 💚 #Libraries are the original recyclers!

All setup at the @CILIPinfo #greenlibraries conference. Come by the @ClarivateAG stand to learn more about the all new ProQuest One Sustainability.

We are a go !! It's always so fun to hear @librarychampion.bsky.social An absolute force in the library world and so thankful she put that energy into #GreenLibraries @ @britishlibrary.bsky.social @cilip.bsky.social Green Libraries Conference

Staffer duties complete (for now) settling into the plenary at #GreenLibraries hard to summarise the HUGE topics being covered today. The most important of agendas. But when things feel huge, a shared framework can offer structure and a way. Talking through the GL Self-Assessment framework. ..

The programme for today looks excellent www.cilip.org.uk/page/GreenLi... at #GreenLibraries conference. Delighted to see the whole sector embrace and grow this work: Every library a green library

On my way to @cilip.bsky.social Green Library conference. The theme of my morning has been the impact of dramatic weather on public transport infrastructure. Which is on brand I guess.

Despite the wonky horizon, this is the best photo I've ever taken. I love the vanishing point into the mist as the sun was burning through. It's the underside of the Humber Bridge in Hull and is a common pic that has been taken many times by locals but the weather that day was perfect for my pic.

We've just shared with people the latest results of #CILIP Professional Registration (Certification, Chartership and Fellowship). My LinkedIn is all lit up with delighted successful candidates and a few have written lovely reflective posts on the process and what it's brought them too.

This had happy Friday vibes to me. What are you looking forward to today/for the weekend? My littlest gets home from his school residential today. Cannot wait to see him 😀.

Ooo, I have 1k followers on here now. Hello everyone, I'm so glad you're here and we're building our community. It feels like the early days in the other place, and that online community was so important to me. I get excited to see old connections who have X-ited, and new ones too. Happy Friday!

Excellent time at Heathers the Musical tonight. Handing the baton/croquet mallet on to the next generation, too. How Very. - You can insert your own chainsaw reference! IYKYK

The beeches of Wynford Eagle on a cold afternoon 😊

2012: “join Twitter? just so I can learn what some moron had for lunch?” 2024: “I’ve joined Bluesky to follow the ‘Good Lunch’ Feed. People post their lunch and others reply good lunch when it’s a good lunch”

Ah! Brilliant - I kept starting to do one of these but then gave up at the scale of the task. Follow all the cool Open Research Library folks!
