What a rubbish week. I don’t understand people. Here’s a photo of a wallaby joey in my mum’s backyard to fix the universe.

A’ dol dhachaigh / going home and what a day for it. For future reference there is time between bus & ferry for Cult coffee & Ullapool bookshop, bringing the holiday book count to 6 📚 #islandlife #hebrides #librarianlife #reader #booklover

In Munich airport and the random woman sitting beside me is a former Leòdhasach. Because of course. #islandlife

It’s impossible not to photograph even though it’s my 3rd visit and I was only there for the vitamin D and to see a friend 📷

Taking a break from paint and plaster and statistical returns to squeeze the last few drops of August out of the year and remind myself that it wasn’t that long ago I was wishing and hoping for this life ❤️

Page 31 and already enraged. Why is English (which spreads like the plague) so threatened by other languages?

On my way to visit my libraries in Benbecula and Barra and say hi to my Uist Mobile Library driver who is just back from South Africa 🦒

Our library service is one of only 20 in the UK who received funding for the UK-wide #OurFreedom project commemorating 80 years since VE Day. It’s a privilege to bring Gàidhlig & Island voices to the table - quite literally - mo bhalaich Ghàidhealach còmhla rium 💕

Lucky to hear from South Lanarkshire Libraries again about their @SLIC1991 funded podcasting project. It’s absolutely fabulous & I’d love to see this in Western Isles Libraries #libraries #CILIPS

Something uncanny about sitting in a library conference in Scotland listening to someone speak about Australian Indigenous archives. Really interested to see if they connect with Gaelic eg institutions are facilitators, not owners #CILIPS #libraries #Gaelic

My first @cilipscotland.bsky.social conference in Dùn Dè this week & have learned it’s possible to tell librarians in the wild even in an entirely different country.

Loving the newbie badge & match up card game👌 #libraries #librarians #CILIPS

Woke up in one of my favourite corners of Skye ❤️

Do other professions experience the same joy as librarians visiting a counterpart? Maybe farmers 😂 Behind the scenes in Inverness Library this morning. I could have stayed a week #librarian #librarylife #libraries #Gaelic #localhistory

The peach really pops with the furniture gone…

Clearing decades of junk seems to always be on my librarian bingo card 😮‍💨 but this will be Stornoway Children’s Library by next summer so it’s worth it.
