I had another look at the mirror today and it is not shiny, but dull. The photo caught the reflection of the lights in the space. You best come the BL and see for yourself. 😃

Happy birthday Anne Louise! MY your day be filled with lots of foxes, wolves, cake and books.

Go on- check it out. Wonderful resources- all of them.
Huge thanks to all our @britishlibrary.bsky.social colleagues who've been working so hard on this for so long!

If you read one book during #Bannedbooksweek read Burning the Books by Bodley’s Librarian @richove.bsky.social. The strongest wake up call yet that we need to stand up for our intellectual freedoms!
