Make a @uklibraries.bsky.social calendar, they said. It'll be fun, they said. #KingLibraryPress

What a great start to the week at @uklibraries.bsky.social #KingLibraryPress

Two hand printed keepsakes from the University of Kentucky Libraries' King Library Press sitting on a desk with the corners torn off in front of a massively fancy microscope in the UK Educe Lab
Normally I would be sad to have a letterpress printed keepsake torn but I am totally ok for it when it means I get to see the paper fibers up close. What a cool way to start the weekend with an open house at the Educe Lab! Was a fun surprise to see #KingLibraryPress materials in an unexpected place!

I'm on SP-15 duty today, which means I just tell people to just keep going over and over. #KingLibraryPress
It's time for another #KingLibraryPress Saturday workshop and there is not enough coffee in my system yet. So glad we're able to support these events but I'm never going to be a morning person.

The UK Libraries #KingLibraryPress sees this and raises you die cut stickers on a printing press!
Days where I give myself plenty of time: press prep tasks 10 minutes, max.
Days where I want to wing it: everything goes wrong and I lose people by the time they can actually print.
Planned ahead today for a #KingLibraryPress tour, that's for sure!
