Welcome to Litsy!

A few #jbuk members in the North West are having a meet up in Manchester on 25 January. We haven‘t decided exactly what we‘re doing but it will involve books no doubt and food 😁
If anyone in the area wants to join us that would be great, email me: trish.barker@liverpool.ac.uk for more info.

To all the my #jbuk buddies that have sent me emails! Apologies I‘m a bit behind, have the dreaded lurgy - and have mostly been in bed since Sunday, tried to go back to work this morning and lasted an hour! Will hopefully send something round at the weekend.

@JenReadsAlot Cool Beans is closed today.... summer hours? New spot will be Barnes and noble cafe in east towne mall basically across the street.

Me to hubs as I leave for #wimeetup : look how many books I‘m getting rid of today!
Him: yeah but how many are you coming home with?

Quick reminder about the #wimeetup tomorrow at Cool Beans in Madison. I‘ll be bringing excess/preloved/or not my genre books to give away :)

Ps Litsy has been weirdly chopping my photos lately and won‘t let me edit 🤷‍♀️

#wimeetup will be 6/23 from 10-12 at Cool Beans Cafe in Madison. I didn‘t reserve the room because there doesn‘t seem to be a ton of interest or availability this time.

WI folks please respond to the date listing in this doodle for our next #wimeetup - I‘ll be calling places tomorrow afternoon. https://doodle.com/poll/qkmtx8ccq2b7de74

Calling all #wimeetup folks!!! I‘ve complete fallen down on this. Is 4/13 or 4/14 too quick for everyone? Let‘s talk here! @JenReadsAlot @Kshakal want to tag other folks? Other available dates (for me anyway) would be 4/20 (day before Easter), 5/11 in the am, and 5/12 (but also Mother‘s Day). Otherwise I can send out a survey for June dates.

NC and surrounding Littens we‘re meeting at the book festival in Winston Salem on Saturday!
Whoever‘s there during the day can meet me at the info booth at 10am, do the scavenger hunt and explore the festival, and we‘re having a formal meeting at 5:30pm for dinner! Email me your phone number for text updates! Leannallenart@gmail.com #litsyhappenings #litsymeetup #nclittens #winstonsalem

UK LITTENS! (Just posting this picture because I love how it turned out...)
We have set the date of 26th of May for our York meet up!
If you are interested in coming please email your number to miraluna.nixon@gmail.com to be added to the whatsapp group. If you don't use whatsapp and are unsure if you'll be free just keep an eye on the #litsyyorkmeetup tag as I will use it to post details closer to the time. Cheers!

Hello UK based Littens! There are currently 2 (possibly 3!) Meet ups in the works. One for April 14th in London (organised by @Mitch & @Nikki15 ) one being organised by myself for York on May 12th or 26th. The third is still being discussed.
I'm currently putting together a whatsapp group of those interested. Drop your number (or just your interest & I'll keep you in the loop) to miraluna.nixon@gmail.com
Thanks! 😄

Another successful #wimeetup in the books :) A lovely time was had by all! @JenReadsAlot @Little_Reader @Kshakal @Godmotherx5 @MayginReads @Kangaj1 @2BR02B

Repost from @Librarybelle :

March 20-24, thousands of public librarians will descend on Philadelphia...will you be there? Months ago, @LibrarianChels & I remarked on Litsy about doing a meet up of PLA attendees. Anyone interested? I could start a Slack group. Anyone who lives near Philly's welcome too!

Feel free to share - I‘m using the official hashtag #PLA2018 and #PLA2018MeetUp . Tag me so I know who‘s interested! #librariansoflitsy

Repost from @tpixie :

Anyone available for a Valentines Day night #LitsyMeetUp in San Diego? I get into town at 1:30, but my son will be working. Maybe 6 or 7:00 PM- possibly at a Barnes & Noble? Not certain where would be open and not too crowded. #LitsyMeetUp #SanDiego #ListyHappenings #ATTENTION Saturday plans fell through- I could also meet up on Sat 2/17 #WednesdayOrSaturday photo by vaughnlower.com

Today was our first #PNWLitsyMeetup!!! So awesome meeting you all! Can't wait for our next one! Thank you all for making the trip to Seattle 😊 Absolutely loved talking books with everyone 📚📚📚📚📚📚

Quick reminder to any littens in the KW area that @janeycanuck and I will be meeting at Williams Coffee Pub at 170 University Ave W, starting at 1:30! Come see us; we'll sign your book! We haven't published anything, but if you bring a book, we can write in it. 😁 Ha.

Free today and in KW?! Meet @kidamy & I at Williams for a Litsy meetup!

This upcoming Saturday, @janeycanuck and I will be meeting up in the Kitchener-Waterloo area! We'll be at a Williams coffee pub (170 University Ave West) starting at 1:30 and would love if any other littens in the area could join us! There will be a Litsy logo on the table, so you can find us easily.

Any KW and area Littens up for a meet up this weekend? @kidamy (from London) and I (from Guelph) are meeting up at the big Williams in University plaza and would love to meet anyone else who‘s free! We‘ll print out a copy of the Litsy logo for the table so you can figure out who we are. Anyone and everyone is welcome!

Reminder to answer the Doodle poll for #WIMeetUp ! We currently have 8 respondents.

I am the worst selfie taker, but I did find @MCYmermaid! Here we are in Memphis with Elvis because that's how they do things...

It‘s time again for our next #WIMeetUp slated for March. I wanted to get it in January but that didn‘t happen. Please tag all WI Littens you know! Please respond to the doodle poll by Tuesday, January 30th at 6pm. And if you haven‘t please join our slack channel where the rest of the details and set up will be!
