Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

If they can’t have John Boyne, there’ll be no prize at all. Quite the hill to die on.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Thank god for AEW.

I'm a broken record. IDGAF I'll keep saying it till the day I die.

Some of you don't realize how great of a wrestling company they are. How long wrestling fans been waiting for this moment.

It's everything pro wrestling should be coming out of your TV's

AEW fucking rules 🤼♥️

24 hour family mini-break to #highstakes2025 was well worth it. Mercedes Monè at the Donny Dome, and a banger of a title match by Michael Oku and Leon Slater, what more could we want? @revprouk.bsky.social

Methodically muting all wrestling accounts on here because NUFC playing tomorrow means I have to put off AEW Revolution (aka potentially greatest ppv card ever created) til Tuesday night. Raging, to be honest.

This is @theguardian.com using a review of a Gracie Abrams concert to mock the personal hygiene of pre-teen girls. Is this really where we are now?

Just to say that like every year it's so nice to see your kids dressing up as Learning Languages in Early Modern England (Oxford, 2019) for World Book Day. Keep the pics coming!

“Over that time councils also made deep cuts to discretionary services – such as libraries and road maintenance.”

Still a lot of work to do get the message out there. Libraries are not discretionary. They are statutory critical infrastructure with empathetic knowledgeable staff!

Great afternoon in front of the TV cameras banging on about my favourite subject - the many virtues of #libraries - #Newcastle libraries in particular! #toonlibraries #newcastleupontyne

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Patrick Radden Keefe’s Empire of Pain, and Katherine Arden’s Winternight trilogy, are all currently 99p on Kindle. Incredible deals for some of the best books I’ve ever read.

(Obligatory reminder that they are also always available for free from #toonlibraries - just a library card required!)
