How's this for #AdoorableThursday?

We've found some old slides of @LancsLibraries around the county which our @DFNPS_Preston intern is diligently scanning.
Is a #hat common on a mobile #library these days? We suspect not.....

A bit of a #MondayMood 🧵here- if you know where to look for it in the picture....

Our @DFNPS_Preston intern scanned this, from an #uncatalogued collection of #images.
It's some well-off folk snacking on a #yacht (look there's a binnacle!), but are they behaving properly?

We're currently hosting an intern from @DFNPS_Preston, and one of the things they get to do is scan glass plates, which we'd love to get round to, but, well, y'know...

And, the thing with them is that you never know what you'll find!

Like this dog, being discretely bribed!

❤️Friday Reads. These two top titles chosen by our amazing intern, Kit, from @DFNPS_Preston. Kit is enjoying their last day with us here and we wish them all the best! Kit loves 'The Skull' @burstofbeaden @WalkerBooksUK and 'The Song Walker' @ZillahBethell @Usborne.🥰📚
