BBC News - 'We took over our library when the council shut it'

I was one of those "fierce librarians," who apparently sat on a high platform. I only had to beat people occasionally when they failed the "clean hands" inspection, so the report might be a bit exaggerated.

We have lost Chris Priest. He was one of those writers I admired greatly as a novelist but was always happy to sit down and chat with at a convention. Many of us have lost a friend. I just hope the British literary establishment knows what IT has lost.

Exhibition -- highly recommended! I spent two hours wandering around taking notes of things to read and follow up. Shame the BL is now affected by a cyberattack, so bring cash!

There is a campaign out of Tufton St to undermine the National Trust. If you are a member, you have until Friday to vote (see next post for who NOT to vote for). To avoid splitting the vote, vote for the NT's preferred candidates

It was such a joy to be on the Advisory Board for this exhibition (with @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, @aliettedb.bsky.social, Roz Kaveney). Tanya Kirk, @mjrsangster.bsky.social and the rest of the curatorial team did a wonderful job. Please go see it if you can.
