@Feargal_Sharkey Dorset!

Where am I? Those of a certain age... 😎

Oh this is the most beautiful, bloody heartbreaking story of why libraries matter for reasons far beyond the books. I urge you to read it. Two humans at Battle library holding up so many different people with nowhere else to turn. Awful & magical. theguardian.com/news/article/2…

The latest @SHSLitSoc is now on the @SurbitonHigh YouTube page - this week we're talking about guilty pleasures from across the literary world: youtube.com/watch?v=su_r6C…

Could you guess what these charred timbers have been made into? To save the Minster from fire 40 years ago, the burning roof was collapsed - sending medieval oak beams and molten lead crashing to the floor. But the 13th century timbers were recovered from the building (1/2)

(2/2) Out of the ashes, we’re giving the historic timbers a second life by partnering with a local craftsperson to transform them into exquisite, handcrafted fountain pens. Available both in shop and online whilst stocks last: shop.yorkminster.org/product/york-m… Archive photo by D Phillips

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic! Knitter Pauline Scutt has installed this post box topper. Look at the details! 😍 It's making us feel nostalgic! We remember the Teddy Bears' Picnic as a book. What was your favourite early reader's book - was it a rhyme?

No @SHSLitSoc tonight as @SurbitonHigh walks the walk on the catwalk at the annual Fashion Showcase! Good luck to all taking part. We are back next week for all things bookish in the @LibSHS #WorldBookDay.
