We're very sad that @bookelf.bsky.social has left the committee but really excited for her new role @jinfolit.bsky.social!

Jess @bookelf.bsky.social · Apr 22

Being on the @lilacconf.bsky.social committee is one of the best thing I've done in my career and I cannot recommend it enough, it gives you the opportunity to work with some of the most inspirational people in LIS, and learn new skillz/access to what you often otherwise can't in librarianship.

Hi Michelle, the local reps and the building services team have done a full sweep of the CSL and the only item they've found is a pair of sunglasses. I'm sorry. If anything is found in the coming days, I'll let you know. Emma
