Great time at @leedslibraries Voice of the Fans exhibition, talking all things football, culture and photography. Big thanks to Rhian and Antony for having @LowerBlock along. Great to be a small part of something so rich with proper football culture.
Long live football.

Thanks for sharing @rememberlop.bsky.social — much appreciated! Yes the LOP was a vital resource when I lived in Leeds, and the collection in #LeedsLibraries was essential research for books including my last novel The Fountain in the Forest on @faberbooks.bsky.social, because of coverage like this

In which writer @tonywhite.bsky.social says he often does his research in the @britishlibrary.bsky.social and 'in the archives of Leeds city library where they have a collection of Leeds Other Paper, an amazing independent newspaper from the 70s to the 90s.'
Yes indeed. #Leedslibraries

Looks good but #LeedsOtherPaper provided weekly reports from the front line - the villages as well as the picket lines - so is also worth consulting by anyone studying that period in Yorkshire. #LeedsLibraries have reference copies as do some uni libraries.

Hearing from Dom Gilroy on work across the libraries in Leeds. Very impressed with how @leedslibraries use the @librariesconnected offers to frame programmes. I wish @essexlibraries had half their offer #hlg2024

When's the best time to tell a borrower their @LeedsLibraries account has expired? Not when they reserve a book; not when you say the book's now in.
No, wait till they've sent their spouse in with your card and have the machine deny borrowing the book that's reserved for them.

Searched for: “real pigeons”.
Got: ‘The witch's vacuum cleaner’
The 7yo is disappointed at no Real Pigeons books by @AndrewMcDonald/@BenWood_illos in local libraries.
I'm more puzzled how the search system used by both @BradfordLibs247 and @LeedsLibraries comes up with that.

_A_ library? Why would I restrict myself to just one?
This year I've used from @BradfordLibs247 near home, @LeedsLibraries near work, and @NlandLibs and @PowysCC libraries on holiday.
Libraries are fab!
