Book Sprints are in the first week of 12 straight weeks of Book Sprints. Crazy! Right now they are working with the British Library:

#CollectiveWisdomAHRC Book Sprint with @britishlibrary kicked off with discussions and exercises to find the objectives of the book: "if you could communicate one thing about this topic, what would it be?". Sometimes drawings make it easier to get there than words! pic.twitter.com/rVYgS5dlvA
