On Tuesday 10th April interviews were held for a replacement resident, as I am moving on to WMUK, and following those interviews, our new resident user:Delphine Dallison, was appointed. I am very sad to leave SLIC, but am delighted to be taking on the new role of Scotland Programme Coordinator, and very happy indeed to be handing over to Delphine. Thanks hugely to everyone at SLIC, it's been great working with you.

Progress narrative

 * Lost Poets of Scotland editathon with Scottish Poetry Library. Interest generated for additional events.
 * Training day at Inverclyde for volunteers taking part in the editathon, and the editathon itself. 2 x half day format worked well and allowed volunteers to come back with questions about editing.
 * Protests & Suffragettes event - this event allowed us to develop a relationship with an existing partner (SWaC), and gave our student placement Jenny an event to which to work towards / run herself.
 * South Ayrshire staff training - this was delivered as part of the work around the town of Girvan, generating a good deal of interest in local librarians and senior management.
