Conference tag flags that say Read and Resist, Land Back, Imagine being afraid of books and drag queens, Eldest daughter, and Channelling my inner Bertha Russell
@onlibraryassoc.bsky.social I need to know who came up with the Bertha Russell tag! 😂🗽🏛🛤 #OLASC25
Hand making a fist with a wrist tattoo in text in the style of Rage Against the Machine, saying Wake Up
Resist, persist, move, and ->

Johanna Gibson-Lawler winning the service award for her advocacy in Ontario for School Libraries. We need to work together to support school libraries no matter the province #SchoolLibraryJoy #OLASC25 #TLSky
For those coming to #tmc2025 at #olasc25 there's been a room change for the dinner. Please check your email for the update.
Authors @jaelrichardson.bsky.social & Catherine Hernandez talking abt their new books and process.
Amazing to hear the stories behind the stories. Inspirational and fantastic. "A sculpture can't sculpt inside their body" sometimes you need to "use the residue" to distance yourself.

Our poster presentation on “Makerspace to go” attracted a variety of people. We expected smaller libraries to be interested but had a few from the large city libraries (TPL, HPL, KPL) visit to learn too. #olasc #olasc25
In the “Lifelines in the storm
Finding community in a changed informational landscape” by @navalang.bsky.social at #olasc & my heart is sad at the loss of community from that other place. Also reminded of online librarian friend who passed last year that I used to see here. #olasc25
At OLA Super Conference today. Have a poster presentation with coworkers at noon. Ran into one former coworker. Saw a few former Twitter librarians I knew (did not say hi because I’m awkward like that.) #olasc #olasc25
The image depicts an exhibition booth at a conference or trade show, featuring materials from Readex, a division of NewsBank. Two vertical banners stand in the background; the left banner promotes Readex's historical primary source collections with the tagline "Unlock History" and an illustrated collage of historical figures and events. The right banner highlights Readex's BBC Monitoring collection, which provides summaries of global broadcasts from 1939 to 2001. In the foreground, two tables are draped with branded tablecloths—one for Readex in maroon and one for NewsBank in white. Promotional materials and a laptop are placed on the tables. The booth is set up in a large hall with a black carpet, black curtains, and an industrial-style ceiling.
👋OLA Super Conference attendees! Stop by booth 312 to learn about the newest resources from Readex and Newsbank like the acclaimed collection BBC Monitoring: Summary of World Broadcasts.📻

Q: How many librarians does it take to fix a PowerPoint?
A: As many as required to collaboratively problem-solve until the job is done! 😆 #olasc #olasc25 #olasc2025
Actual day 1 of #olasc25 (yesterday was day 0). Started the morning with CyberLegends, KnowledgeFlow and ICTC talking about free, Canadian Cyber Security education developed by educators for educators. Now on to the annual Best Bets, one of my favorites. Time to learn about amazing books.
What is the collective noun for a bunch of #schoollibraryjoy fans? Asking for a friend at #olasc #olasc25 @wendyburch.bsky.social
