@Ester__Island @LindyRexie @Audrey_Giles It’s true. I needed to diversify my mediocrity to other services like librarianship, manscaping, etc.

Work perks. I had a grounded dog therapy session where we got down to the heart of my dog obsession.

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

@chlaabscconf I just registered! I'm excited to see you #canmedlibs in my hometown of Winnipeg!

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

I’m a librarian on vacation, of course, I visit libraries in other cities. I present to you the libraries of the Netherlands.

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

@deonandan Absolutely.

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

That’s a wrap on #OLASC! It was filled with many successes: our @ONLibraryAssoc CDI committee sessions, the book haul of my dreams, and getting to meet the mayor of TO. My heart is full from all the new and old friends in library land that I could connect with. Until next year!

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

@Malecasta But the real question is how many pens you’ll run away with this year?

[Valentina L @vly_lis]

If you're an early bird, join us next week at #OLASC on Thursday, January 25th at 8:15am for an IBPOC conversation space with members of the @ONLibraryAssoc Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

It’s sadly time to leave Halifax after #CHLAABSC23. Thanks to the @chlaabscconf planning committee for hosting a great time! I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you all again in my hometown of Winnipeg next June for #CHLAABSC24!

@jillyb3 @AlannaCTheLib If I could’ve voted for this workshop for people’s choice, I would’ve. It was valuable insight from many journal editors’ perspectives.
