Watching today's #SpendingReview announcement - there is so much our profession can do to catalyse recovery and growth, help people be more connected, live well and reduce demand on other public services. So much potential, just waiting to be realised.

2/2 Today was the buffet, the bill will come later. Meanwhile, public sector pay freeze will impact on upwards of 1.3m public sector workers, including many #librarians and #infopros - a bitter pill after working so hard to support communities through #COVID19
