Bromley library workers win strike campaign

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by the @oharasisters for “Frindleswylde” (2021), continues my Wintry theme, with this sweeping, exquisite new fairy tale, with charmingly drawn and imagined characters and scenes. A hauntingly perfect read in the colder months of the year.

From the comments: "We have been yelled at, cursed, and in some cases physically attacked for offering a free mask, requesting more distance, or failing to have a covid test to hand out." Finally a little light is being shed via the media on the situation in libraries right now.

Yep having to continually ask people to wear masks in libraries was a pain in the arse BUT at least it afforded us some protection 🤷‍♀️😷

'Libraries empower us to experiment. They let us try books we can’t afford; books we might hate. Walking into my public library or my school library I began to feel like an explorer.' Wonderful insights from @gilliancross on the magic of libraries at https://peters.co.uk/news-page/taking-risks-the-magic-of-libraries-by-gillian-cross
