librarian: stop it
Ooh I got to see this at the weekend… spent a lot of time looking around at such pretty things…. and actually came back with some shocking photos. 😂

The Full Moon this month is known as the Worm Moon.
The Spring soil is warmer & earthworms start to appear.

Just me?

Im forever getting collared in clothes shops?!
I’m not really sure why… I mean I did work in one as a teenager… but now??
However proud to say I’ve been asked a few times for help in the local library….
‘if we don’t talk about it, it will go away’
And other great lessons from the countries flagship library. 📚

I remember once getting a request for a two part book that was over a grand!, and no it wasn't illuminated with gold. 🙃
Ridiculous state of things. #ebookSoS

Fellow former* coach holiday gal here. Severely underrated as a fuss free getaway.
Meals- sorted
Drinks- why not
day trip out to somewhere I’ve not heard of- count me in!
I say former, it’s just been a decade since I’ve done one.
The dream!

Photo showing a variety of books on display against a historic library backdrop that is in a board that says “Glasgow’s women’s library hello everyone welcome” The text overlaying the image says “ did you know? Glasgow women’s library uses its own feminist classification system.”
Photo showing a small selection of colourful books spines on a shelf. The text overlaying the image says “for decades topics like LGBTQIA+ lives were filed under abnormal psychology, social problems perversion and arrangement that that’s not something GWL was willing to accept”
Photographs showing wooden shelving holding the collection of books the area is carpeted in a light blue patterned carpet. The text overlaying the image says” the system began taking shape in 2005 when GWL’s first librarian Wendy Kirk started developing a way to organise a growing collection of over 20,000 donated books”
A photograph of three bookshelves that are pretty full. On the spines library labels can be seen. The overlaying the image says “ instead of complex codes GWL uses letters for main subjects numbers for sub categories for example H7 .1 is history 20th century and suffragettes. Simple. Intuitive. Welcoming.”
