For anyone that doesn't know us, we are Orkney Library & Archive and we've been supplying books to the people of #Orkney since 1683 which makes us one of the oldest libraries in Scotland. We also have a Mobile Library called #BookyMcBookface and we have some REALLY big balls.

Nice to meet you. 👋

BMW goes retro!

I wonder if this model will hit the UK?

Gulp. After it’s thawed out a bit I guess 🥶
