There's also some photos in Flickr.
Last night Debby Shorley, the President and the Lord Mayor welcomed us at a reception in the gorgeous Manchester Art Gallery, the Lord Mayor reminded us of Manchester's place at the forefront of the public library movement in the nineteenth century, and Debby replied as gracefully and wittily as ever.
This morning, CILIP Council hold an open forum, with Maggie Haines leading a discussion on health.

I had my first conference run this morning.
