Countdown to Halloween! Here are some of our library staff who attended the "Sing-Along-A Wicker-Man" at the QUAD in Derby. There was also the option to dress up, but we just decided to wear our usual going-out clothes. #Wickerman #QUADDerby

Something something healthcare. OK, we don't actually have a proper #tenuouslink for this but, er, let's call it a #WellbeingWendesday post because we think the 'ginger chonkster' will make you smile.
Also if you work in the #NHS don't miss out on the great resources from your local library teams.

We're starting to label up our devices to remind people to switch off when not in use. Hopefully this will help to save energy and unnecessary costs. So whether it's chargers, monitors or meatballs (see yesterday's post), if you're not using it, switch it off! #sustainability

We don't know who comes up with these events, but we approve of this one - in hindsight, we probably should've cooked our offering for National Sausage Day 🌭
