Recently, I
have been lucky enough to present a workshop at the ARLG 2016 conference. This
came about as a result of my winning ARLG’s Alison Northover Bursary, which I
used to attend the 2014 ARLG conference.
I had such an amazing experience attending the conference that I was
determined to contribute to the next one.
I kept my eyes open for the call for papers, submitted a proposal in December 2015 and in January 2016 found out it had been accepted. I was thrilled! The proposal was based around a book folding workshop, to be co-presented with an ex-colleague, Fran Heap. In the past, Fran and I had both used book folding to lead various library initiatives to engage users and raise the profile of the library. We felt we could share these experiences in the hope that other library staff may be interested.
