@AusCollections You definitely get your steps in for the day when working for a public library!

[Tayla Scott @Tayla_Scott]

This might be a long shot but is anyone interested in some library textbooks? Realised I have some hanging about and I don't need them anymore.

@ALIANewGrads I haven't read Eragon but apparently the movie adaptation was really disappointing

[Dr Frankie Wilson @qualitydog]

This is an excellent thread perfectly illustrating why stats alone are not enough to illustrate the impact of a library.

@SippelAlice Maybe get travel insurance? That way you can have ease of mind.

Two identified positions have been advertised in a new Indigenous Archives Unit at the ABC. Could be exciting opportunities for mob working in libraries/archives?

I was one of five Black librarians to draft an editorial on anti-Blackness in libraries for JMLA. Due to our experience with the editing process, we decided to withdraw the article before it was published. Here's my take on what happened: https://t.co/tRAXeak1zy #medlibs

@sarah_h_i I see your point. I was interested because I feel public "librarian" jobs do also require some supervisory/leadership responsibilities. If you're a new grad but maybe had experience in another GLAM or little experience within the sector I was wondering if that was a disadvantage.

[Tayla Scott @Tayla_Scott]

#AskLibraryTwitter Do you think new library graduates can apply for leadership roles? What factors would you consider for them to be a viable candidate? E.g. library experience, experience from a first career. Genuinely curious.

Researchers, librarians, filmmakers and teachers are eager for the copyright reforms the government has promised #orphanworks #copyright https://t.co/ZUL6PuBeci

Always like a good book recommendation!

[Tayla Scott @Tayla_Scott]

@SippelAlice @LibraryJaneH It looks like you need to be enrolled or progressing towards getting your degree

[PortlandArchives @PDXArchives]

Curious about words used when talking about Archives like provenance, original order or red rot? Check out the Dictionary of

Me: What's wrong?

8-year-old: I have to write a whole paragraph for school.

Me: That's no so bad. I write entire books.

8: Yeah, but this has to be good.

Are you struggling with patrons sharing racist, sexist, anti-mask, etc. viewpoints?

Here is a crowd-sourced discussion of appropriate responses from front line library staff about what to say while remaining professional. #UpskillThursday https://t.co/DMLDd1GMXS
