CUBG Cory Library

*taps a very dusty mic* Hello? Is this thing on? We're working behind the scenes on some new things so to get the latest updates on all things Biological Sciences, check out @SBSLibraries! We'll be back soon!

Enjoying the snow here @CUBotanicGarden from the warmth of the library!

Last volunteer session of 2017 this morning. Massive thanks to our wonderful library volunteers Graham, Caroline and Janet who this year have given over 380 hours to library and archive projects. #volunteersareamazing

Delighted to see Henslow getting into the Christmas spirit @CUHerb #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas twitter.com/CUHerb/status/…

I've been encountering the ghosts of @CUBotanicGarden Christmases past in our image library today. Here are a group of our trainee gardeners (including Roy Lancaster I believe) enjoying themselves at the staff Xmas party, early 1960s!

Wow, what a great range of courses on offer for 2018! twitter.com/CUBGEducation/…

Oh my goodness!! #halloween twitter.com/The_RHS/status…

@barbmilne If you happen to be in the area it is Apple Day here this Sunday and Ribston pippin will be available in the tasting tent (crop permitting)!

@barbmilne Yes! Plate 25 in vol. 1. Including a sad little drawing of what was apparently the original tree. #ribstonpippin #herefordshirepomona

Did you hear about the librarian who slipped over? She was working in the non-friction section... Happy #librariesweek! #libraryjokes

@ca1851 You're welcome!

Good enough to eat! Read about the tasty-looking illustrations in our Herefordshire pomona (1875-86) here: bit.ly/2ma3HDg

Welcomed the new crop of horticultural trainees to the library this morning! Now we're off to @plantsci for a tour of the library there.

Excited today to be moving the first batch of our early (pre 19th century) books to their new home on our brand new shelving! Very smart :)

@Girlinthe Could they be bittern?

Had a great time reading at this morning's Garden storytime with @CUBGEducation! Love books, love gardens; what a great message for kids :)
