Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Dear libraries,
We love you! ❤️

We celebrated our love of libraries with not one, but two brilliant Bookbug sessions at Montrose Library this morning.

Did anyone catch SLGS committee member and superstar librarian @emmagrey.bsky.social on the news recently talking about ethical and responsible use of AI?

So exciting to see us on STV news last night talking about our involvement in the Generative Artificial Intelligence Skills in Schools (GenAISis) project with Robert Gordon University & CILIPS, funded by ResponsibleAI UK 💻 🤖
