- I virtually attended #ARLIS2025 last week and am still going through my notes and the various articles and resources I bookmarked while tuned in – so much food for thought! Congratulations to the @arlis-uk.bsky.social team on an excellent conference.
- That’s more like it.
- What a day this was! Here we are on the Saltee ferry in our matching Jon Klassen hats. Totally unplanned but very on brand 🐢

- All set for our final book club meeting of the current run! We’re discussing the @childrensbooksireland.ie Awards shortlisted ‘Stitch’ by Pádraig Kenny, published by @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social #ReadingHeroes
- Our junior book club had a brilliant time adventuring with Noah’s Gold by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social! After some great chats about treasure, teamwork, and tech, we made our own island maps and swapped clues to find hidden treasure.
- Had the loveliest time in Glasgow and Edinburgh over the Easter weekend. 🏴
- 2025 marks 100 years since the closure of Monto, Dublin’s historic red light district. If you’re interested in the lives of the women who lived & worked there, I highly recommend Caroline West’s book Wrong Women & this episode of the Three Castles Burning podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/3QW0...
- Fabulous day spent visiting @marshslibrary.bsky.social and 14 Henrietta Street – two Dublin City gems.

- Great book club session on #TheWildRobot by @peterbrownstudio.com this weekend! 🤖 🌱 We discussed nature vs tech, the power of community & what it means to survive. From planning our own island survival to designing unique landscapes, these young readers proved they’re just as resourceful as Roz.
- Thanks to inspiration from @dculibrary.bsky.social at the @aslibraries.bsky.social conference, I’ve set up a De-stress Table! Herbal tea, chocolate, fidget toys, mindful colouring, uplifting quotes, a community jigsaw – little things to help students relax and recharge as we near the end of term.
- First Mother’s Day without her. Thinking of her today and every day.
