@abc730 This graph haunts me and has affected a lot of my choices. Women tend to be the ones who cut hours and have flexible work arrangements as well as belonging to heavily casualised workforces. Women's working lives change dramatically with children and they never recover financially

@todaystwo I think it depends on your director's background? Eg If it's business, find evidence of the economic impact of libraries. There's definitely studies out there. Then show how you're doing that too. Speak in her language and show how you'll make her look good in a way she values

@DymocksChermy Don't let the pigeon run the book store

@ReferenceGrrrl Yesss. I love small talk and could do it for hours but actually SPEAKING to people is just the worst

Midnight New Year’s Eve all works first published in United States in 1923 will enter public domain It has been 21 years since the last mass expiration of copyright in US The release is unprecedented and its impact on culture and creativity could be huge

@Ms_NicolaMarie I assume it's Fat Possum who likes to run over my roof at 3am

I have a visitor!!

This is really interesting

I went to a baby shower in a park with a thousand spiders and lots of shade. The sun found me and has exacted revenge for my hubris. Now to never go outside again #TheInteriorIsSuperior

Accidentally over toned my hair and it's a beautiful lilac purple but only in parts. It's certainly a look.

@LousyLibrarian Did she enjoy it on the thirteenth read?

The forgotten labour of digitisation. All newspapers in the British Library were ironed before they were microfilmed to ensure a clear image. Here is a staff member ironing a paper. The microfilm images are used in modern digital packages. #s482 #KZoo2018

@natalietran I boil the kettle, then forget to make the tea. Over and over and over. My entire electricity bill is a story of wasted potential

@Staraice Oh fun!! You'll have a blast

[Meg Laverick @MegLaverick]

@Staraice When I first had to do it, my best friend reminded me that most dogs have the intelligence of 2-3 year olds. Just imagine that you're herding a particularly rowdy pack of puppers into a rousing round of the hokey pokey

The small Torres Strait Island of Warraber has no books for kids in their library.
If you can spare a book or 10, transform the lives of young people by sending books to Judi Brown
Tagai State College – Warraber Campus
Warraber Island QLD 4875

A book can be a refuge. Kids need refuge even more than adults, as they have fewer options for escape. To anyone who might reduce library access for young people, or fail to provide literacy programs that work: do not do this to our kids

The ABC pulled down this article that Malcolm Turnbull attacked in Parliament. It'd be a real shame if it got retweeted hundreds of times again. #auspol https://t.co/BWSxCRJfmm
