@NickPoole1 I went out for a meal with my cousin, which ended at 9pm and I went home shattered (bed by 10). How did these people do this?

@aatvos Dear Aat Vos. I am absolute delighted with my book. I’ll let you know how it is used :)

#CILIPConf19 ⁦@aatvos⁩ Is now speaking about library environment transformation, to close the conference. I won a signed copy of his book from Bibliotecha. I’m so very happy with it 👏👏👏

@JoWood04 Someone once referred to my work as a “nice little quiet job”. That same day I’d orchestrated the move of collection of 800 boxed items from one library store to another, they were amazed when I told them about that part.

#CILIPconf19 Sadly, I was once referred to at a previous work place by a patron as “that blonde girl”- like I could be memorable for nothing else. I was a qualified professional, directing a literature Festival at the age of 22 and all I was to this person was a diminutive.

@publiclibnews Well that means I’m not a professional in the USA either. Totally agree that is laughable.

Librarianship is not a neutral profession - everything we do is a political act with the aim of improving our community. Love this from @liz_jolly at #CILIPconf19 😍

#CILIPconf19 It’s interesting to note the experiences of LGBTQ and BAME colleagues from the profession. Let’s get more diversity into Library and Information services 🙌🙌🙌

When you have people tell you that you can’t and remind yourself that you CAN- then you DO!!!

@liz_jolly #CILIPConf19 I’m from a working class background, I have a regional (Mancunian) accent and I have both dyspraxia and ADHD. But I’m a professional librarian. I’ve worked hard for my background and disabilities. I totally feel and understand your sentiment. #inspired

[Suzi Jayne Heslan @SuziMNH]

#CILIPconf19 Liz Jolly of the British Library talks about the British Library and profession. You won’t know me probably Liz, but I worked for you at @SalfordUni Clifford Whitworth as a library assistant. That job kickstarted my career. Thanks for being inspirational #
