Crosspool's 2023 well dressing entitled "Holly and Hagg" is created from an image by New York artist Lee Keller. It looks fantastic. Well done to all involved. 👏 👏 👏 #Sheffield #Crosspool #welldressing

It’s nearly time! Tickets for main event cost £2.50 each ( under 16 free) and allow you repeated visits throughout the week. Tickets bought at the door @CivicHolmfirth Disabled access for venue but unfortunately the lift to the demonstrators stage is out of order. #holmfirth

So #BLA23 is now over. It’s been great to meet again in person and Lancaster has been a good location. Thank-you to the committee for all your organisation. Particular thanks to @SjoukjeSchots acting as Supplier Liaison Officer as well as Chair! Hope you can relax this weekend.

Shoutout to the #ebookSOS campaign! We don’t want to be forced down the expensive eTextbooks route. We can also lobby for improved Digitisation rights. #BLA23

Some students say they prefer print yet our borrowing figures at Huddersfield dropped significantly during the pandemic and have stayed low since. Have other libraries found the same? #BLA23

“Inclusive design means better design for all” Home Office Design blog. So true. I have really benefited from being able to listen to a book whilst driving, walking & even doing my supermarket shop! Saves me so much time. #bla23

We had to adapt digitally in the pandemic. We got a glimpse into how it felt to be disabled. Changes made benefitted those with additional needs. We can’t afford to slip back into how stuff was before. It did exploit the digital divide. Relies on good internet connection #BLA23

I really like the quote just mentioned by Stacy Scott (Accessibility Officer at T&F and blind herself): “Accessibility is the stepping stone to inclusion” #BLA23
