@lucasjmaxwell I've done a few lunch time counts and hit 200 one day - I had to stop as they kept moving around and I lost count. I'm going to do one again tomorrow, you've inspired me, I think it's something we need to sing from the rooftops!

🙌 How many parents or teachers realise just how ruthlessly the library profession has been gutted? School leaders & policy makers wring their hands over falling literacy while they defund & deskill the school library - the ♥️ of literacy in the school #libraries #literacy

@CathyA19 @CookersOzStyle Yes I love how "brave" they are, wearing a mask so no one will know who they are. It makes me worried to think that they could be our neighbours.

“Yes” says the conversation with Blackfullas continues.
“No” says we’re done here.

@jackie_french_ Owen pops up a lot in my family tree and is also the name of a young soldier killed in WW2. Colless is also the last name of the brothers who founded Come by Chance from the Patterson poem.

Thanks "Weird Al" Yankovic for spending 229 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Ebay (Parody of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys). #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/KNieQd1zv6

@FleurFerris Thinking of you, your family and community. I hope that you all stay safe and the waters receed quickly.

PSA: Interrupt your librarians!

It may appear they are working on something important. They may be, but they're also working on it to fill time between being needed. If they're on a desk, they're primarily there to help you. We *want* to be interrupted to help!

@lesstenny Job description?

[Melis @MelisLester]

@adamliaw Oh I am so behind, I didn't know they were away!

[Melis @MelisLester]

@bridgetparker That's worrying me

@rhysam Should be mandatory reading 📚

A library is the heart of a school, a place for research, reading for fun and co-curricula activities. A place of well-being and community. Libraries, teacher librarians and library support staff need to be valued and properly funded in all schools ❤️ #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

[Melis @MelisLester]

School libraries are... amazing places where learning happens, imaginations are encouraged and education is supported by library professionals - students need school libraries #asld2022 check out our school instagram @icentremta

@yumichild Pinetasarol is the bomb. Antihistamines as well and long Socks at night to try and stop the night time itch. I'm so sorry this has happened, it is the worst.

[Melis @MelisLester]

@MalTheWook What I love about this, as well as potentially seeing him prosecuted, is that he was called out by archivists and librarians!
