@OrkneyLibrary Welcome back pal. Our librarian lackey, with rucksack full of poetry books, looks on with envy!

Guess who's back? Back again. Booky's back. Tell a friend. #BookyMcBookface is back on the road for the first time in 2025. Today he is in Orphir and Stenness, so go along and borrow some books! 📚

has come back into our collection, so in celebration of #NPD we are announcing this as our latest Library Acquisition, and look forward to sending it out into your Valued Patron hands when we next open (hint: coming to a street in London near you soon!) #NationalPoetryDay

and the borrower became recalcitrant, never returning this item to us (yes, we’re talking about you, Xavier Roelens, our first ever entrant to The Library Wall of Shame!). Time and the universe being what it is, we are delighted to announce that after much searching this item...

Happy National Poetry Day dear Valued Patrons of the Library (VPLs) and also you Non Valued Patrons who are yet to meet us! Back in Autumn 2006, in a bathhouse in Antwerp, where we were operating in our first year of being, we lent out “The Heart of the Ancient Balcony”...

"It is difficult to speak of the night. It is the other time. Not an absence of day. But where there are no flowers to turn away into. There is only this dark and the familiar place of my body. And the voice calling out of me for love." poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine…

The info-seeking occurring in library forms carries with it the potential of freedom: the interactions of librarian & patron ‘a state of being manifest in action,’ that is, ‘a freedom which is not an attribute of the will but an accessory of doing & acting’ #LibrariesChangeLives

A visit to @Librarian in Amsterdam’s Boekie Woekie

@khj5c @UVALibrary @rarebookschool @englishatuva @J_MRL Thanks for the awesome location tips Valued Patron & we hope to wander over to Charlottesville one day indeed as we're sure the good citizens therein require Itinerant Poetry Library services :-)

@Librarian If you find yourself anywhere near Charlottesville, I imagine you could find a place to alight among @UVALibrary, @rarebookschool, @englishatuva, @J_MRL, or the several downtown bookstores.

Delighted to sign you up as a new Valued Patron of the Library (VPL) & look fwd to providing Itinerant Poetry Library services to you somewhere, somehow again! #tipl #SHARP2022
