Dear All, Gareth here. Emma has developed a bad infection which took hold quickly overnight.she’s been rushed into hospital. High temp, high heart, confused and ready to give up. She’s saying silly things about it being her time, so we need you

I’ll read every one to her🙏

[Anderson Public Lib. @andersonlibrary]

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like, plotting a revolution man. I wouldn't mess with them."

@StirlingLibs Digital Inclusion Officer Angela Short speaking at the Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice conference in Glasgow yesterday about #WorkIT #EBLIP10

Something for everyone in public libraries. #LibrariesMatter

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Something I just love about public libraries is how they bring together such a wide cross section of people. You look around & see grandparents sitting on the floor w/their grandchildren, scholars digging into the archives, college kids who have a paper due in 2 hrs. I love it.

Liz Moffat @OuchLibrarian talking about the amazing #ReadingFriends project at Stirling Council's Big Huddle today. Reading together reduces loneliness, improves mood and builds friendships. Great work with @BannockburnHigh, who's next?

[Lindsay McKrell @library_com]

Great interventions from @MartynWallace and @CSBCook at #digitalscotland18. Colin Cook says relaunch of National Performance Framework last week aims at Opportunities for all to flourish. Inclusion is at the heart of this.

Keynote speech from Darren McGarvey @Loki to conclude an amazing #CILIPS18. He spoke about libraries as "a place someone can change their life, a refuge" but they need to be resourced. #librariesmatter

Pepsi looking scary.

Views from our hotel, isn't Glasgow beautiful?

Will never forget seeing Susan as Wonder Woman - inspiring stuff! She was our winner and thank you for supporting a wonderful library. ❤ https://t.co/wAcFQz0fFz

[Susan Calman @SusanCalman]

After the tour I’m giving a top hat (from the quickstep) and a paso cape to @womenslibrary. Glasgow Women’s Library celebrates all of our Scottish Wonder Women and it seems apt to share my joyous time with them.

[Lindsay McKrell @library_com]

Had an amazing time at Strictly and bumped into Joe at our hotel bar after. What a lovely down to earth man. 😊 https://t.co/kE7BFGtj7W

@Joyisreading #CILIPSAG17 inspiration - frequent reading is 4x more important for children's life chances than a parent with a degree.

Fab presentation from Joy Court on the power of reading at #CILIPSAG17. People who read 30 mins a day live at least 2 years longer.
