HVC Library

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

@HVCLRC Your posts will be very much missed

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.

@HVCLRC So sorry to see you go - what sort of issues are you encountering?

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

@HardimanSarah @HVCLRC I only managed one of the easy crosswords, and even then had to look up a couple of answers 🤦‍♀️

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

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

@CarnegieMedals @Waterstones @UKLaureate @frankcottrell_b @Booktrust @CILIPinfo All congratulations, @frankcottrell_b!

And the new @Waterstones Children’s @UKLaureate for 2024-2026 is… @frankcottrell_b! Author, storyteller and @CarnegieMedals winner. A champion of reading for children, and a superb choice for this role. @BookTrust @CILIPInfo

@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.)

my reviews of all Carnegie 8 shortlisteded @ books, and congratulations to @JosephACoelho @NateLessore @nicolakidsbooks @kwamealexander@tiafisher_ @sophiecameron @Hiba Noor Khan @zillahbethell @HVCLRC berliedoherty.com/carnegie-2024-…

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.

Thursday greetings from Watson. He has his eye on you.

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

A very sad day yesterday. But at the end of it there was this.

@anthony_mcgowan Will do!

@HVCLRC Say hello from me!

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.

@ABTheAdventure Amazing, wasn't it?

Anyone know where this portal takes you? 😉 #PeakDistrict

@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 berliedoherty.com/different-for-…

@PoetDeanwilson6 The Owl Service?

@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.
