An passenger tunnel on the Underground, that has tiled walls.
That moment when you're on the Underground and find yourself completely alone down a silent tunnel that, without a doubt, must be haunted.
Poems on the Underground poster showing the following text: Epitaph on a Tyrant W. H. Auden Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after, And the poetry he invented was easy to understand; He knew human folly like the back of his hand, And was greatly interested in armies and fleets; When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter, And when he cried the little children died in the streets.
Saw this on the Tube this morning. Today marks 40 years of Poems on the Underground. You can see the archive @theul.bsky.social.
And don't forget to join your public library 😀 📚
Storyhouse is a fabulous place.
A group of books on a trolley with price labels tucked inside.
Busy pricing books for our next local studies booksale, which will be on Saturday 11th October 1-4pm on the third floor of Cambridge Central Library. We'll have old and new books, maps and prints available - come and grab a bargain.
'Library work puts the librarian in touch with every human interest ... the profession on which all other professions and occupations depend' Love this old ALA graphic spotted on LinkedIn, anyone have a year for it?
Never ask a librarian a question, unless you want a very thorough answer. 📚📚📚 #SearchEngineWithAHeart

It's a cracking story.
A photo looking up at the tower at the House of Lords end of the Houses of Parliament.
Great to be a guest of @goodthingsfdn.bsky.social at @houseoflords.parliament.uk giving me an opportunity to wax lyrical about delivering digital inclusion through libraries.

Crikey.
One way to get the accessibility word out 🤣 @nedpotter.bsky.social
That does look mighty impressive. 11 out of 10.
Love this series.
Excellent to be representing @librariesconnected.bsky.social at the launch of this important charter. A crucial step in delivering digital inclusion for all.
A cardboard cutout of Freddie Mercury propped against a wall.
Good to see a familiar face, tho.
A view of the Barbican Centre terrace and pond.
The Barbican Centre (and Library) is just a whole nother world.
An excellent day learning about MDLS. Key takeaway for me was "meet people where THEY are" on using digital, and engage. www.goodthingsfoundation.org/policy-and-r...
TV screen on the wall with the text Minimum Digital Living Standard 2025.
Looking forward to finding out new findings from the Minimum Digital Living Standard team. @goodthingsfdn.bsky.social @liverpooluni.bsky.social @lborouniversity.bsky.social @nuffieldfoundation.org
A cannonball sat next to a sign commentating the Priory Churdh of the Order of St John.
Oi, @orkneylibrary.bsky.social, St John's got one of your balls.
An archway showing St John's museum garden beyond.
You arrive too early for an event, go looking for a bench and accidentally find a portal to another land.
Be sure to keep an eye out for Cambridgeshire Libraries staff 🙂
A studio portrait showing four generations of the Tysoe family, consisting of three men and one child. The photograph is listed in the Maddison & Hinde order book, and can thus be dated to 1898. David Cozens, in his book "Huntingdon A Pictorial History" believed the family may have lived in Hartford Road, Huntingdon. Doc ref HA WH2/70

Photo of the Story Garden with the Francis Crick Institute in the background.
First, and likely last, visit to the Story Garden. It'll be making way for the expansion of @britishlibrary.bsky.social. Check it out before it's gone, it's quite fun.
Reproduction of a photo showing a brick wall with graffiti that states, "This site has been taken over by the people of Tolmers village for a garden".
Very much enjoyed Unearthed @britishlibrary.bsky.social. A fabulous visual experience 📚🌱
