This 2024 equivalent of this went down really well. It's an interactive advent calendar pointing at library resources, made by my team - I am biased but I think it's great! 🎁📚
Our Arts & Humanities librarians have created an interactive 14-day Christmas Countdown based on #York Winters of the past!

🇺🇸 The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) focus on free speech, but the legal challenges they bring tend to use the issue instrumentally as a way to gain allies in their battle against reproductive rights.

So I appreciate this is *NICHE* but thinking up Severance-esque words of affirmation about an innie reference book's loanable outie was the most work fun I've had in ages... 📚

(If you've not seen Severance you'll just have to take my word for the fact this is the best thing I've ever done 😄 )
Your outie was once discussed on a podcast.

(One for fans of both #Severance and Reference Only books. Please try to enjoy each fact equally.)

"A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users."

Our physical space and resources matter *greatly!*

My favourite festive film
Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 romantic comedy THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER is a bright, shining Yuletide jewel. 'How Would Lubitsch Do It?' a sign hung in Billy Wilder's office read. Well, like this...magically.
