There are events that libraries can link with or ally with at different points of the year including LGBTQ history month in Feb, Pride month in June or commemorative events such as IDAHO on 17th May. Can also ensure that all other events have queer content. #cilipne

All staff should be responsible make libraries safe - be aware of behaviours such as hostility, aggression. Look at the kinds of issues there could be for example what kind of images do we use. Are they representative of all users?#cilipne

A fascinating project, so many challenges in getting an idea like this off the ground. This idea could grow legs and run on a national level. #CILIPNE

Is government going to step up & support the HE sector financially then? B/c for those unis that aren't Oxbridge/RG/receiving hefty research grants, reducing fees & refunding accommodation will end them. Literally. Bankrupt, closed doors, laid off staff - no tuition at all.

⚠️🎓Universities need an urgent financial injection to give them a fighting chance of coming out of this crisis. Will your MP help to protect university staff and students, sustain public services and rebuild our economy? #HE #DontFailOurFuture 👉 unsn.uk/dontfailourfuture
