@MelissaLDavey @gingerandhoney It's been so great to hear what other library services have been providing for their communities. Here's what we've been up to since closing our doors: https://t.co/PIPJAGbEaE
Let’s talk libraries changing lives. Since March @YarraLibraries have delivered over 20,000 books, DVDs and magazines to public housing residents. We have delivered over 9000 meals to vulnerable community so far. This is life changing - this is #leadership#librarieschangelives
How fantastic! Well done @kyliencarlson so great to be asked to present internationally, the wonderful things @YarraLibraries are doing for our community while our libraries are closed. You rock 👏🏻💕
This week, our Partnerships Coordinator @kyliencarlson with @LanceMW and @DrWalidGhali presented to @MGCUBihar on the topic of Library and information science in the context of changing environment, and how we have responded whilst our libraries have been closed.
Books can power innovation, support learning, teach us about the past, and empower everyone, if we let them!
For our final #WorldBookDay post, we've looked at #copyright reforms over the past year to identify some trends: https://t.co/g3sVnpMmMV
