MPL Workers United has a supermajority of library workers demanding civil service and a union. Finally we have a resolution in process for a referendum on the Nov โ26 ballot for the people to vote!! this is a real win. #libraryworkers #unionstrong #labor
I've just emailed my MP in support of British Library workers on strike over pay #BritishLibraryOnStrike
As my own union ballots its members in response to a paltry pay offer of 1.4% (whilst inflation is at 4.5%), now is the time to stand together as #libraryworkers for #fairpay for the work we do.
If you know, you know. If you don't, we would love to share! Can you guess some unexpected responsibilities working in a library? #libraryworkers #jobduties #selenagomez #Fridayfun

A shout out to #libraries and #libraryworkers (it's not just librarians on public service).
My #library card gives me free tutorials on LinkedIn Learning where I learned the basics of #Blender, #3DModeling, and animation.
Libraries matter.

#LibraryWorkers #Labor #BookSky should know:

Fascinated to hear how Julia Whelan's audiobrary.com is changing this. More in this pod:
I advocated like hell for other people: my bargaining unit (when I had one), my staff when I was a director, my students whenever I worked in a college. But going it without any real support (ahem ALA) takes a huge toll. #librarianship #LibraryWorkers
During my public service career I worked in an R1 (grad school), two different small liberal arts colleges, and a public library. I routinely covered multiple jobs (replaced 5 or 6 full time positions in my last gig). #Libraries #LibraryWorkers
Fobazi Etterah's Vocational Awe remains essential reading for anyone in or around libraries. Ideally everyone would read it, but here we are, we gotta start somewhere. share.google/23N8urZhzv3b... #librarianship #LibraryWorkers

A poster advertising Yorkshire Crime novels which is an homage to the Yorkshire Tea box design.
Made a poster for a book display at work, and that's it, I've peaked. No more making book display posters for me. It is not getting better than that. I retire. #libraries #libraryworkers @yorkshiretea.bsky.social
Ive noticed a trend and Ive got friends who work outside the scope of my local area libraries that can maybe clue me in on it.
#Libraryworkers I am all for local businesses and people investing time and energy to help donate towards or libraries. We need it greatly but...
Today is my first day of work after a 2 week vacation. I slathered on the diclofenac gel, took a meloxicam, had my wife slap a Salonpas lidocaine patch on my shoulder blade. Let's do this.

Heads up, #Librarians and #LibraryWorkers!
If you get patron calls asking for new books by Isabel Allende, Percival Everett, Taylor Jenkins Reid etc that youโve never heard of, itโs because those books donโt exist.
Major newspapers published an AI slop article with fake titles by real authors. ๐ณ๐ก
