Orkney Library - since 1683 - how amazing is that?!! 💙
I’ve been searching for Orkney Library on here almost daily ever since I came over.

Welcome to 🦋 @orkneylibrary.bsky.social
For anyone that doesn't know us, we are Orkney Library & Archive and we've been supplying books to the people of #Orkney since 1683 which makes us one of the oldest libraries in Scotland. We also have a Mobile Library called #BookyMcBookface and we have some REALLY big balls.
Nice to meet you. 👋

Hello bluesky friends!
After much prevaricating I have started the process of leaving Twitter, because of what Musk is saying, doing and not doing on and about the platform. I tried moving to Mastodon last year, but that was too geeky to work for me.
