#BLA25 reflections..(part deux).. do astronomy, debate with Jo Webb about the future of our profession. This list is just a taste of what happened (didn't even make it to the gin or whisky 'tour'). Bless you BLA, so long and thanks for all the fish. I did eat a lot of fish. Xx

#BLA25 reflections.. Where else could I hang out with Aaron Tay for drinks, or get to the nub of UX with Andy Priestner, learn the inner most thoughts of deans of business, ponder on the unfathomable ripple effects of kindness with Helen Rimmer..

Now for a visit to Glasgow Women’s Library @womenslibrary.bsky.social

With Glasgow just 30 mins on the train from Stirling, it’d be rude not to pop over after #BLA25 and visit some libraries!

First up: The Mitchell Library, which houses the BL Business & IP Centre Glasgow

A fabulous end to the @blalib.org conference today, ending with a keynote on kindess by Helen Rimmer. Big thanks to the committee who did a wonderful job of organising it, and the University of Stirling for hosting. It's been great. Until next time....
