Our Mobile Library #BookyMcBookface might be a library legend but he didn't begin that way. Booky had to be forged and crafted into the form we all know. Here are some rare previously unseen photographs of Booky under construction back in 2016, alongside how he looks today. 😀

“We had everything we could ever wish for… now we probably don’t even have a future anymore.”

16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg says the planet’s future “was sold so that a small number of people could make unimaginable amounts of money”.

'I am the future, but before I appear,
Please - close the scrolls of information,
Let the laptop sleep,
Sit still
And shut your eyes.
Listen - Things are going to change'

All this fuss… for a library? Yes, because Finns love libraries; they are such a core aspect of public life that as soon as an asylum seeker is granted permission to remain in the country, they are handed a library card. https://t.co/bo8dkmu9vc via @RipleyLibraries

Hedy Lamarr is best known as a glamorous movie star - but she was also a math whiz and the co-inventor of frequency hopping, a critical precursor to GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth! One of many role models for #NationalEngineersWeek: https://t.co/Qx4yTQRp0n
