It's so fantastic that @StewardsNotes is coordinating to make this happen here in Peterborough. So happy I was able to relocate our printer to help contribute to this great effort! Get in touch with @StewardsNotes if you're able to help out, too!

After having to take a break for a couple years, I'm excited to have submitted an abstract for #cgsa2020. It's my favourite conference and I'm excited to go again!

Ran my first workshop for the Odette Critical Making Studio tonight! We had a few rocky moments, but I think overall it went well. I can't wait to see the end results from students!

@VanArtLibrary @LibrarianshipCA @BataLibrary @internetarchive We did have to downsize the collection by 250,000 so yes, these items were removed and physically donated. They'll be available for use and browsing via @openlibrary and we hope to integrate records for those items into our catalogue at a future date.
