The 6th Mashed Library event known as MashSpa will be held in Bath on Friday 29 October. Designed for librarians and technical staff, this one-day event is an opportunity for them to meet, share knowledge and create new mashups. The morning programme will be given over to a few talks while the afternoon will be dedicated to mashing and creating new ideas for your library and some workshops. We would stress that no technical expertise is required of participants. There are still a few places available. You can book online
now.
