We have recently added more titles to read or listen to FOR FREE on Libby (we're a Library and all of our books are free to read but it's a point worth making)!

We were especially excited to extend our selection of queer stories, both fiction and non-fiction. 🏳️‍🌈

@balconyshirts We remember this!

@DanhausenAD @WWE If you want to use our Library for some quiet reading, we can probably sort that out for you... #Libraryhausen

@balconyshirts @hoxtonwanka @mrkhndy We like books but we also like TV and the Beatles.
I don't know where that puts us.

To celebrate our birthday, we will be playing Pin The Pipe On Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Book Twister (where instead of coloured circles we use books with green/red/yellow/blue covers)...

@balconyshirts @davecargill If you call it 'Balcony Banter' we'll never speak to you again.

@K_C_Mann @balconyshirts This is a very good point; we do check ours regularly to make sure they're genuine and haven't been replaced.
In @balconyshirts case, they'll be printed on their clothes so they should be safe.

Every Tuesday, the brilliant Academic Development Skills team run an informal study group that will help with improving study skills, essay writing and more!
Just pop-along to room BANN 019A on the Ground Floor of the Library on Tuesdays, 11am-12noon!

Today I donated some cool novels & short story collections to @Brunel_Library’s Reading for Pleasure scheme, & made up a load of zines for the Creative Writing Society to give away at the Freshers Fair tomorrow 📚🖤

@OrkneyLibrary Quite possibly the best thing that has ever been posted on this thing *applause*

Here's a picture of the Brunel Library cat.

We don't have one. We just felt left out. #internationalcatday

@balconyshirts You're right; that does sound like a modern term. If we dig up anything else, we'll let you know!

@balconyshirts According to what I just read, it might be from the Romany word 'drom' meaning road and that it came to mean a place of residence along a road.

Whether that has any basis in fact or not is a different matter!

[Brunel University of London Library @Brunel_Library]

@balconyshirts Um...
