Well, what did you see this year? Where did you go, and where do you want to go next?

2018 has been eventful for me, with lots of travel and some big projects.

(That doesn’t mean I found no time to read; you can see some of my favourite books from the last 12 months in this blog post).

This year I got to some places I’d never been before, as well as revisiting others that have long been important to me.

I’m speaking today at the President’s Meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations in the city of Barcelona.

"For me, discovery, surprise, exploration, and the ability to do something the authorities didn't predict, lie at the heart of a user's encounter with a #librarian" — @DrMattFinch #PresidentsMeeting2018 #IflaGlobalVision pic.twitter.com/nguEaN1lE5

As part of the session “Building Bridges to Discover New Services”, I’m discussing ways to develop new alliances & partnerships for libraries large and small.
