Learning more about #LibraryOn and how user experience is helping them achieve their North Star goal of getting more digital and physical library visits.

There are many young people who love their libraries, some are missing ones they used to visit. There’s a chance for them to give their thoughts on the future of library services at one of three 45 min focus groups. - https://t.co/JvWyqwigIe

@MartinAtTheEdge I’m not ashamed Martin. If the Home Secretary had a moral compass instead of an extreme right wing compass she would understand our shared humanity instead of the vile right wing views she shrieks. I hope she becomes leader of the Conservative Party. They deserve each other

All dogs who come to our office are now given the official job title of “director of entertainment”. Last week we averaged 6 dogs a day, and while they can’t answer the phones and do the accounts, they do add to our culture of fun and kindness.

Principled and right. Which is what makes the current Tories hate her so much. They prefer unprincipled and wrong. @carolvorders voice against this awful government has been and can now continue to be an important one.

I love this man’s honesty, as a superstar economist & theorist

[Professor Karol Sikora @ProfKarolSikora]

Lockdown proponents like to conveniently frame the debate as pitching our mishmash of pointless, damaging and confusing restrictions against doing absolutely nothing to protect the vulnerable - 'letting it rip'.

Don't let them.

There was a better way - the Swedish way.

Next up, it’s a #WINspiration-al session at #SCVOGathering featuring @PregnantScrewed on how Scotland can and must end the motherhood penalty. Fantastic feminist collaborations could be in the future - we think ‘Pregnant Then Brewed’ belongs in Scotland’s public libraries!

@wmartinfair And the civil liberties of those who wish to honour the war dead in two World Wars and whose sacrifice enables others to demonstrate, they nor the war dead matter?

another night of pets terrified by fireworks, when is the government going to bite the bullet and ban the sale of pets?

This - the greatest European speech on the Hamas murder raid, Israel war vs Hamas, rising antiJewish racism and toxic sham ‘history’ of Decolonisation - is deeply moving. Its decency and moral clarity is striking…
