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.
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!
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.
@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.
