The Mayor of Stockton-on-Tees, Councillor Ross Patterson, was the first to sign a Book of Condolence at Stockton Central Library this morning following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. There's more on how you can pay your respects here: stockton.gov.uk/article/9038/F…

@mcefreeman1960 Lovely city but I only had one hour to wander round. Will definitely return
Here I am in beautiful Lisbon for the EBLIDA/NAPLE conference to hear about challenges and opportunities in developing the library workforce. Looking forward to meeting and learning from colleagues across Europe - especially the friends I have previously made online #EBLIDA2024
Last night I said farewell to my amazing friends at the Arts Council after nearly 7 years as a relationship manager for libraries. They gave me a brilliant send off and it’s been a privilege to work alongside my talented colleagues in a sector I’m so passionate about. 🙏📚❤️
@clancym123 @libsconnected And what a bloody asset you will be - one of the nicest and best supporters I’ve met in the sector … you could charm the birds from the trees
It’s my last day of work for a few weeks until I join @libsconnected at the end of the month! I cannot wait to join such an exciting and passionate team, and continue to support the library sector! Exciting times ahead!!❤️📚
