*pitiful trumpet noise* a little news from me…
After three (let’s face it) utter chaotic years, I’m leaving @The_Globe. It’s been an absolute joy to be the voice of this beautiful wooden ‘O’, share the incredible stories within it, and chitter chatter to thousands of people ⭕️
We're known to house a few tortured poets or two in our collection...

'I love my work. I love working with my hands. When I see damage to a book, it's like the book needs a doctor – and I'm that doctor.'

.@EllaMcHawk is an absolute biscuit wizard and I can confirm that the @britishlibrary’s collections are pretty tasty.
(Of course I sunk my teeth into Shakespeare’s First Folio).
It’s the @BritishLibrary’s 50th birthday!
This biscuit (cookie) set is inspired by the British Library’s wonderful collections. Each biscuit depicts an item from one of their six core collection areas: stamps, newspapers, manuscripts, printed materials, maps, and sounds. 🍪
