I volunteered to give feedback on an excellent conference! Highlighting how thankful I am that the conference is open now to all library staff (not just heads of service)
And how inspiring it has been hearing about library projects & future planning! #LLConf25 #LondonLibraries

Especially, proud that my colleague Rob of Balham Library will be doing an ignite talk about the Dementia Friendly group they founded.
Rebecca will also be on a panel talking about GLL Literary Foundation & Loretta about the Business Support we run through our libraries.

Really looking forward to the London Libraries Conference today!
A day of hearing about all the amazing things happening in libraries across the city, as well as looking how to approach future trends & challenges!
Friday is a good day of knowledge exchange & networking ✨️📚🖤

Watching Race Across The World thinking, "Wow, I'd be so good at this.... as long as my teammate allowed me to be in absolute control of all travel/logistical decisions." 😅
Altho, my inability to try unknown foods means I might just starve before the finish line heh

Go so excited when I saw the sign mentioned a Library, but looked everywhere and could not see :( Best I could find was a closed book store.
Waiting for final flight. Heydar Aliyev International Airport to Gatwick :)

Didn't get too much time to explore The Burabay State National Nature Park, but what I did see was lovely, I can imagine spending a whole weekend here hiking! It was a perfect ending to my week in Kazakhstan! Now, to start the trek back to London :)

As part of the IFLA Emerging Leaders Grant we were asked to give a lighting (1min) talk on what our definition of leadership is. To not only be able to attend an international conference, but also to share my view on stage was really pretty special ✨️📚🖤

Say it LOUDER
Leadership happens at every level & every stage - and that means all staff deserve access to support, knowledge, training to grow their own leadership style, which in turns breeds more leaders (libraries sure love circular economies 🙃)
