A love letter to libraries, on @thenaturelib’s first year in Irvine and being stunned (but not speechless, apparently) by the great people walking through its doors. Another year of libraries facing cuts and also of them literally rising from the ashes. Thanks @tweetbytheriver!

@peediepuss Happy new year Martin! Interesting, had a look and yes apparently there are. It was right on the side of this path, which is frequented by lots of people and cars, but maybe they’re out and about here at night?

@cmarieriley Any otters around there? Looks like their style of opening a Green Crab.
Happy New year too xx

the most beautiful crab carcass I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot

Still obsessing over hearing Garth Greenwell talk about sentence muscularity at @PortyBooks and always quietly obsessing about ballet and less quietly about this cool planet we live on. New post on Substack about some of that thenaturelibrary.substack.com/p/body-languag…

The latest North Ayrshire budget consultation, which proposed cuts to a number of libraries, leisure centres and green spaces, received the council’s highest ever number of responses from the public.

Senior Library Assistant Nickey (left) said “The library serves our community with not only books, but the use of our community room, a warm space … From the very young to the older generation, the library is a welcome hub, a place to gather, talk and share a moment in time.”

Arran Library back on one of those isolated days of summer. Birds zig-zagged between the eaves and the trees like they were trying to stitch them together. Bookbug sessions look out onto Goatfell which makes me wonder if they tell stories about goats falling onto bugs.

Know anyone who loves the sea and pebbles and pebbles that look like the sea?
2025 calendars, and cards, available at christinariley.bigcartel.com 🪨
(Sunday evening push because I’m going to the post office tomorrow)

“That traditional model of book-lending is an out of date way of looking at libraries and if you just go on that data, you miss the point … It becomes so much more than just a transaction of our books.”
Don’t cut libraries, don’t let them cut libraries.

@NoreenMasud doesn’t go deep into theory but it does get mentioned in the postcards episode of @ologies — from 20 minutes in and specifically 21:45 open.spotify.com/episode/0yDb48…
English
this might be the most specific reading suggestion I've ever requested: has anyone written any theory about the postcard phrase 'Wish you were here!'?

good good good good good news
Extra Teeth@extrateethmag
We are so pleased to announce that after a year’s hiatus Extra Teeth is back and better than ever!
English
The Beach Today calendar is back with 12 more of the ~365 pairings of sea, sky and stone made from Nov 2020 - Nov 2021.
This site is different now but The Beach Today exists because of it/the people on it and for that I’ll always be grateful! Ok thanks!

I see it’s #MobileLibrariesDay2024. I’ve been working on some photos from Arran this week, and the cosy knits of their mobile library.
