Hello Twitter! This is the new page for the upcoming #LivingLibraries podcast, created by @EleanorMayBaker and @a123sp, and funded by @TORCHOxford. Give us a follow to keep up with episodes, blog posts and library goings-on in Oxford!

[Oxford History of the Book @BkHistOx]

Hello world! We are the Twitter voice for the world of books @UniofOxford! Have you seen our new, shiny blog? https://t.co/nDA8yDfp5S Stay tuned for more great posts from around Ox. Always looking for contributors to our Twitter + blog! @bodleianlibs @HLaehnemann

[Bodleian Rare Books @RareBooksOfBod]

We have a copy of this book. The answers to your questions are:
1) yes it does, faintly
2) in the conservation fridge
3) enough for our accounts department to query the invoice because we didn't use their 'preferred cheese supplier'

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

Don't forget that all of our Living Libraries podcasts are available to listen to online. Revisit the librarians of St John's, History of Science Museum, Jesus, Merton, We Look to the Moon exhibition (okay, curators), and Magdalen at the touch of a button!

Here we have it, the final episode of the (first series?) of the Living Libraries podcast, featuring @ilikeoldbooks of @MagdLibAndArch! What a way to end the series!

Just editing the *last episode* of Series 1 of Living Libraries! Not to spoil the surprise, but this one has firearms. And shoes.

This scroll of the Bhagavadgītā [MS. Fraser Sansk. 41 a, b] is an example of the 18th century fashion for copying certain Hindu sacred texts on to thin, burnished strips of paper that are not to be read, but to be carried as an amulet.

Its a rainy day and the ' We Look To The Moon' exhibition is sadly over...but why not relive the magic with our podcast? 🌙✨💫

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

[BL Printed Heritage Collections @BLprintheritage]

“Udsbodykins!” our new favourite word. It starts off this unique surviving printed ballad, ‘The Western husbandsmans lamentation’ circulated in 1644. It is written in mock #westcountry dialect and groans at the confiscation of the fruits of the land & labour by descending armies

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

@walkerabroad @SHOCCProjectUCC @theriversideUCC No problem - your projects look fascinating!

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

@AJenuineMistake Sorry to be this podcast, but we recommend **OURSELVES** We interview different librarians around Oxford about the collections of their libraries - good with a cup of tea and biscuits!

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

Printed text or manuscript...?! Find out about this, and the history and treasures of Jesus College's Fellow's Library with the latest episode of the podcast, starring librarian Owen McKnight!

@bookllyfr @JesusLibraries Audio warning: the audio is damaged, so it sounds a little like we interviewed Owen in a bathtub (we didn't). We did the best we could, but listen without headphones for clearer quality!

[Living Libraries Podcast @LibrariesLiving]

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Ep 4 interviews the excellent @bookllyfr of @JesusLibraries about their journey in to librarianship, the Fellow's Library and some rather swanky handwriting! #podcast #library

Apologies for a lack of upload this week - conference internet has once again hampered our efforts! We will be back next Wednesday at 6. In the mean time, our previous three episodes remain on the website. Grab an ice lolly and have a listen!

Its a rainy Friday evening, a brilliant excuse to curl up with a cup of tea & some choice biscuits, and let @JuliaWalworth whisk you away to @MertonCollege 's library with the most recent episode of the Living Libraries podcast!
