There’s only two days left of the main part of the Congress. The library lovers campaign has been featured here http://www.librarylovers.se/english.html, including materials to buy at the Congress shop (a set of Library Lovers luggage even!)More meetings today. Our second MLAS meeting started the process of finalising projects against the strategic plan and the activities until next year at the WLIC http://www.ifla.org/ifla77 in San Juan. Congrats to the IFLA Governing Board and HQ staff who have survived another marathon WLIC and as their new membership officer, Tatiana said today at Officer’s Training - they have “dined, met and danced” with so many of the 3000+ delegates.
