Today is #EmpathyDay, a day to celebrate and grow empathy's power to create a better world.
It aims to shine a light on the role of books in raising an empathy-educated generation. #ReadForEmpathy

[Orkney Library @OrkneyLibrary]

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ so we're being very sustainable by taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look through, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. It's a great system. ♻️ #Libraries

Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about Ablaut reduplication.

If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'
tic-tac-toe

If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’
