12 Days of GLAMR Wrap Up

Ho, Ho, Hold your likes  ! They’ve all been tallied, the game has concluded, and winners have been announced!

12 Days of GLAMR is back!

ALIA’s Students and New Graduates Group presents a fresh festive game to help you make merry in GLAMRous style! 2018 is winding up, so it’s time for fun – are you ready to play?

And that’s a wrap (with a pretty Christmas ribbon on top) for the #12daysofGLAMR

On the 30th November the ALIA NewGrads group challenged us to take part in the #12daysofGLAMR. The task: reimagine each day of the 12 Days of Christmas on any social media channel. In true library style there were plenty of puns, books, brooches and cats galore! While the end it was @mikeyhawkes who was victorious with a massive 259 points and @lawley_y and @lib_idol coming a respectable second and third, I think that we can agree that creativity was the overall winner. Here are just some of the amazing posts from the competition.
