Up at 5 to catch my train to #LILAC22! I don't think I've ever seen the station so quiet before. Very excited to be attending today's sessions. Speakers: If I'm caught yawning, it's me not you!
The most powerful feature that Twitter has: Advanced search Until recently I hadn't even heard of it, but now I use it all the time. Here are 6 twitter advanced search features that will revolutionise the way you search for what to read: 🧵👇

RT if you feel really terrified about the political direction our country is heading in. I’m curious to see how widespread this feeling is.
“LIBRARIES ARE A LEGAL REQUIREMENT IN PRISONS But not schools” @CressidaCowell launching #LifeChangingLibraries campaign on @BBCr4today with child literacy advocates @QuentinBlakeHQ @MichaelRosenYes See open letter above about providing the #ARTofBOOKS for all, before prison
Today, as @UKLaureate, I have written an open letter to the govt @10DowningStreet calling on them to put primary school libraries at the heart of our pandemic response, with £100m yearly investment. Read here; please share with #lifechanginglibraries booktrust.org.uk/news-and-featu…

Slightly late (sorry!) but better late than never, here is the 2020 Trust Library Advent Calendar: calendar.myadvent.net/?id=069fe79d3e…🎄🤶🧑🎄🎄
If you're shocked by this, talk to your stakeholders/funders and throw your support behind this campaign: academicebookinvestigation.org
I don't actually need to add a comment to this. It speaks for itself.
If you're an academic, or anyone who uses ebooks but isn't aware of the prices involved, take a look at the examples below submitted by librarians. The left price is for a physical copy, the right price is the cost of an ebook for library use (usually 1 user access) #ebookSOS
Today I saw a govt organisation saying it had done a systematic search. It didn't include the word racism in a review of racial inequalities. The same place got rid of its librarians 10 years ago because "you can google everything"
Given all the stuff that's going on in the world, being able to spend the afternoon pretending to go on a bear hunt because my son's school set acting out the book by @MichaelRosenYes as homework has been the most pure and refreshing thing. One happy four year old. One tired mum!
