You can now download presentations from 'The Future is Phygital' - Libraries roundtable held with @libsconnected, which highlighted how library services are building on the innovation during the pandemic to develop a ‘three channel’ service. https://cloa.org.uk/2021/06/10/the-future-is-phygital-libraries-roundtable/

@ScotGovEdu @S_A_Somerville @PlayScotland @COSLA @barnardos @sportscotland @jamiehepburn @YoungScot @CreativeScots @YouthLinkScot @HistEnvScot @scotgovhealth If would be wonderful if @GlasgowCC used some of their £2.2m to reopen the closed sports facilities and libraries @GlasgowLib for the city’s children. Also know @HOScotstoun were short of meal provision funding necessary to run their summer camps. @SaveWhiteinch @SaveGlasgowLibs

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by @MrSteveAntony for “Amazing” (2019), continuing my LGBTQ series for #PrideMonth. Steve’s books are simply brilliant. His often thought-provoking concepts, gentle humour, and sincerity shine out. This book is a modern classic, truly “Amazing”!
