Hi - we're new here! 👋
We're thrilled to have made the decision to stop posting on X and start posting on @bsky.app instead! 🦋
I've updated the library & library people Starter Pack - let me know if there's anyone you think should be on.
And do share it across other networks to help people come over to the warm side.
I'm trying for a UK slant but we're are a little quiet here so far!

Great idea! Can you please add @sainsburylib.bsky.social? It’s a placeholder account for now, but watch this space.
Screenshot of the Skybrarians feed. The key part is the 'always there' list of feeds down the right hand side, which includes 'Skybrarians' which I've highlighted, alongside other options like 'following', 'discover' and 'popular with friends'

You can 'pin to home' that feed (looks like this on desktop)
Huge thanks for writing this. I have been sharing the link widely with colleagues. It does feel like a tipping point, and Bluesky is a good fit for libraries and academia. 🤞

I wrote this post for all the libraries, museums, galleries, charities, Uni departments etc wondering about practical next steps to become ex-X.
