Fabulous presentation Robert and David! You created a great deal of excitement about STEM and Maker spaces in libraries. Might a podcast be in the realms of possibility?

Your semi-regular reminder: You are not your work! You are a worthwhile person regardless of whether or not you have a job, have a "good" job, hear back from places you apply, have interviews, have successful interviews, etc. You are valued and valuable, just as you are.

Has anyone got any intel on the librarian makeovers that are happening on Drag Race Down Under S4E5 that will be broadcast next week? Aotearoa library friends - anyone we know? Thrilled to see library work spotlighted in Drag Race but also …. how did I not know about this earlier?
