I've updated the library & library people Starter Pack - let me know if there's anyone you think should be on.
And do share it across other networks to help people come over to the warm side.
I'm trying for a UK slant but we're are a little quiet here so far!

Great idea! Can you please add @sainsburylib.bsky.social? It’s a placeholder account for now, but watch this space.

Screenshot of the Skybrarians feed. The key part is the 'always there' list of feeds down the right hand side, which includes 'Skybrarians' which I've highlighted, alongside other options like 'following', 'discover' and 'popular with friends'

A massive welcome to the influx of library people to Bluesky 🎉 - here's a brief thread of useful things to know.

1) Using the 📚 emoji automatically gets your post into the skybrarians feed, which means more relevant people will see it.

You can 'pin to home' that feed (looks like this on desktop)

Huge thanks for writing this. I have been sharing the link widely with colleagues. It does feel like a tipping point, and Bluesky is a good fit for libraries and academia. 🤞
