@bamber_jasmine Thanks J! Still here and still very much a happy school librarian but trying out #Threads under my own name.

Posts from this library are getting to be difficult for all sorts of reasons. It once was such a good platform for engaging with other bookfolk and chums but times they are a-changing and it's probably time to go. Will miss it. It's been a blast.

@Archway_library Political, technical, changing times in the workplace... Still here and very much enjoying library/school life but am dipping a toe in the world of threads. Under my own name.

@Jess_Hardiman @HardimanSarah Perhaps I'm not missing so much then!

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

Oh no there isn't. This happened last summer as well. Where do they go? Is there a black market in pilfered newspaper supplements? #TheGuardian

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

End of year book amnesty going nicely so far. Seeing books we haven't seen for some time...

@GongFuPoets @PoetDeanwilson6 Longing for the sea from landlocked Derbyshire. Your daily pebbles bring a quick restoring blast of salt air.

@FleurHitchcock We are about the same age. 1967 - halcyon days. And I had a cool big sister to match your cool big brother. (She's still cool.)

I've been hiding away in beautiful Mallorca and reading all 8 books on the Carnegie shortlist. What a feast of wonderful talent. May all the books be shared and loved by young readers.

We'd like to have a #CarnegieMedal quiz for tomorrow's winner announcement party but time is running out. Have any of you ace #Librarians got a 2024 quiz we could borrow? If I get ours done in time I will share it!

@LissaKEvans He has a look of Ray Winstone about him.

@JonathanMeres So sorry about the sad bit. The waves are very soothing.

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

@anthony_mcgowan Will do!

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

Just met one of our Y8 keen readers in the corridor. He's been gobbling up @anthony_mcgowan 's Nicky & Kenny Quartet and has just finished the last one. His 2-word review: "Lark's sad." A cracking series with a very moving conclusion.

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

@ABTheAdventure Amazing, wasn't it?

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

@ThorpLRC @patrick_ness @BerlieDoherty has written a cracking review if this on her blog - you might be interested to read it when you've finished the book https://t.co/DnsG1naw7h

@PoetDeanwilson6 The Owl Service?

[HVC Library @HVCLRC]

@BBC could we have a transcript of the letter from Captain Taylor to the mother of Bombardier Bottoms as read by Katherine Parkinson at Bayeux for the D-Day memorials? It was incredibly moving and I'd like to read it again and keep a copy.
Thanks for your excellent coverage.
