Enjoying The Flight Attendant but it’s all very tense!
I may have gone a bit overboard preparing my list of the top 5 fictional librarians. If you are interested in hearing who I eventually chose you can still listen to the ListEnvy podcast :) https://listenvypod.com/e/top-5-fictional-librarians-3973c3ac954b60/

This document is clearly written, and utterly bizarre.
Including such gems as "the correct female standard weight of 69 kg". https://twitter.com/dancow/status/1380188625401434115

A reconciliation service for OpenRefine based on a CSV file similar to reconcile-csv from @OKFN This one is written in Python and has some more configurability.

Come and work with us! Interested in seeing what we get up to? The main repo is https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet; fourteen years of code, well maintained. Our slippy map works without JavaScript, yet we also have a service worker. I am proud that we can be both mature and have new things. https://twitter.com/societyworks/status/1379436238806024195

I’ve found a spare copy of Poems & Paradoxes. I’ll pop it in the post for a random person who RTs or QTs this. X
Top 5 fictional Librarians... If you’ve got an hour to spare then why not see if you agree with @amarksteadman and me ... and if you disagree who should be on the list?

I'm thrilled that we have the opportunity to work on and with the @Flickr Commons, and totally blown away that @ukglo is back leading the effort. ❤️ https://blog.flickr.net/en/2021/03/23/george-oates-returns-to-revitalize-the-flickr-commons/

'The library is more than a place. It’s also a method, useful in times of absence, loss, and surrender. You have things for a while, you give them back. There’s no obligation to finish what you check out. You don’t have to keep something for it to be yours.' Lauren Du Graf https://twitter.com/springshare/status/1370131173985378307
