Reflections on BETH Conference 2024

Sustainability in European Theological Libraries

Abstract

I first heard about BETH and the annual BETH Conference from Hannie Riley, its Vice-President and Librarian of Wycliffe Hall. Hannie encouraged me to attend the 2024 Conference in Sarajevo, and was instrumental in making it happen. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of BETH funded by Libertree, I was able to enjoy the wonderful hospitality and beautiful historical sites of Sarajevo, as well as immerse myself in the stimulating talks and ideas of the Conference upon the theme of ‘Sustainability in European Theological Libraries’. I am grateful to BETH for delivering a stellar conference, to Libertree for their sponsorship of the conference as well as my attendance, and to all the delegates who were so welcoming despite the fact that my librarianship journey has been but a brief one.
