The #LibCALM activity yesterday was wonderful. You can have one or multiple attendees choosing to post on here if there is a hashtag and have good records, and sharing for people who aren’t there, but with an organisation actively posting, planning and promoting it makes such a difference.

Lovely to see lots of posts on BlueSky yesterday from #LibCALM (and there will be more later today I’m sure) and posts from #redux2024 coming through now. Keep letting me know of library and information relevant conferences and events with hashtags that you’ll be using, so I can add them to the list
