We really appreciate the effort everyone made to join us for this tour of @chesterbeatty.bsky.social last night. We know how strong the urge to hibernate is on these dark winter nights. I for one am feeling very cultured indeed this morning!
Huge thanks to Chester Beatty Library and our tour guide Mary who introduced us to the history and fascinating collections of @chesterbeatty.bsky.social last night. It was great to catch up with our A&SL members too - thanks for joining us!
