I'm off to an event tonight hosted by CAVAL and Informit which is a screening of the documentary The Librarians, followed by a panel discussion featuring @saera, Holly Hammond, Malii Jorm and Angela Savage.
All about the right to read & democracy and the role of Librarians in protecting these things. Very much around Librarians as guardians. Super looking forward to it.
Tix still available. See you there?
