Part Librarian, Part accidental youth-worker, part observer of the world. Lover of the metaphor, reader of the stories.

@SWEdinLibraries Also can't not mention top non-fic pick #InvisibleWomen by Caroline Criado Perez. First found her through a guest slot in the amazing podcast 99% invisible. Definitely worth a listen today. https://t.co/rfAYsCXozj @CCriadoPerez

@SWEdinLibraries My recent fiction favourite that I can't stop talking about has been The Choice by Claire Wade. From right back at the beginning of the pandemic when I thought dystopian fiction was a good idea. @clairerwade #IWD2021 #femaleauthors

If you are campaigning to ‘save libraries’ then you must also be campaigning to ‘save Library Workers’.
You don’t ‘save libraries’ by turning them into volunteer-led book exchanges/Internet cafes, that’s not saving libraries that’s saving buildings 🤷‍♀️

Moonlighting as the gritting team. The librarian in me can't resist a wee tractor and @DrumbraeL library pic. #LibrariansOnTour #Drumbrae #gritting

You can take the girl out of the library, but you can't take the librarian out of the girl... #librariansontour #oxgangslibrary #gritter #tractor

Saturday morning tractor karaoke is on!

Spent a day away from usual mayhem to attend #CILIPSAG18 My first outing as a professional library type of person. Terrifying to begin with and closely identifying with @SallyLWalker comments about imposter syndrome, and uplifting and emotional to end with a keynote on kindness.

So. I might not have been able to get to the library to work for the last two days. But I've certainly don't my bit of being responsible council staff @Edinburgh_CC by clearing paths around my local area! Librarians are diverse creatures!

[Susannah Leake @SusannahLeake]

Been out clearing the paths to the wee shop in Broomhouse. No sweeter reward than a glass bottle of @irnbru THANK YOU Mr. Shop Mannie!

@EdinburghTrams well done for continuing service. Showing the edinburgh trams in a brilliant light even with their controversy. can you tell me when trams are due at saughton citybound? Is it worth me trying to get into town?

A wonderful session from @BarringtonStoke about welcoming dyslexic readers to libraries and what we can do to make reading inclusive
