A pile of much loved books from the surgery and ENT sections in the withdrawal pile 😥

The worse part of our job might be saying goodbye to the books we need to withdraw - some of them have been with us for years!

Don't worry, we'll do our best to find them a good home!

Our copy of 'Everything Is Tuberculosis' by John Green - we've managed to grab hold of it!

The author details for 'Everything Is Tuberculosis '

Here's a quick snapshot of our elusive copy of 'Everything Is Tuberculosis' by John Green.

We can't keep track of it - it'll quietly vanish on loan then randomly turn up in the post one day!

Our nice new copy of 'Dr Podcast Scripts for the Final FRCA' sat comfortably on the shelves!

A quick trip to the printer and we've got a pile of our registration forms!!! We've also got some of our breastfeeding books ready to take upstairs too!

We got to pop into a breastfeeding teaching session this morning, so we made sure to bring some of our books and our registration forms!

They do, but we may have forgotten it...much like we forgot they were in the store room!

Aargh!!! Opened the store room door and forgot we had a skeleton in there!!! They've got their back to us and looks like we've interrupted them...

Memo to self - next time we go looking for equipment in the library store cupboard, remember we've got a skeleton in there!!! 💀😮

Our newest employee - a keyboard hoover complete in the box.

You should always read the instructions when you buy a new electric device! These instructions look fairly straightforward.

Opening the box to make sure that all the parts are here and correct!

Arghhh!!!! We couldn't believe all the dust and mess that came crawling out of our keyboard!!!

Welcoming a new employee to our team - a keyboard hoover!!!

It's been a good first day so far, though the terror of watching dirt crawl out of the keyboard is kinda scary!

'Thematic Analysis'...a fantastic book but one that's in the wrong library!

'Thematic Analysis' hiding on the shelves at NMGH Library...they were meant to be back in Wythenshawe Library a week ago!

Nothing like a bit of detective work on a Friday!

Found this book on the shelves at North Manchester General Hospital Library - problem is, it should be in Wythenshawe Hospital Library!

These gems! Those Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases books are huge!

A parcel for us - what could it be?

More books! Another box full of brand new books!

We found a box at the bottom of the box - it contained these two huge textbooks!

Just as we put the labelmaker and stickers away, another box of new books turns up!

Another rainy day in Manchester...we poked our head out of the Post Graduate Centre to take this picture, too cold to go out!

In the office with the excellent 'How To Let Things Go' by Shunmyo Masuno and a nice warm green tea!

The wise advice given to us by 'How To Let Things Go'

Awful weather and traffic has made this morning a stressful one - thankfully we have the wise advice of How To Let Things Go on hand to help!

A box full of new books! We've opened it to have a peek!

The top shelf of our pink trolley, where we keep our new books. This shelf is full of medical and nursing books.

The second shelf of the pink trolley, with some surgery books on amongst others!

Some of the smaller books that came with the delivery!

We thought it might be a quiet day today...then we got a delivery of new books!!!

It's always good to see our pink trolley full of new titles - now to get them on the shelves!!!

A pile of Oxford Handbooks - all very bright and colourful!

The back of two of the most colourful Oxford Handbooks - we love the way the contents are listed in different colours!

Working on some Oxford Handbook posters recently has made us realise how much we love the colour schemes they use!

All textbooks should have colour schemes like this in our opinion! #library #librarysky #booksky

A fantastic selection of fiction books we want to read!

A fantastic selection of fiction books we want to read!

Working in a library is great, but it can be tough when you've finished your book and have to walk past the fiction section every 10 minutes...

There's tons of books here we want to read and so little time! Plus we have books and a Kindle at home...😬

We wanted to give our display models some spotlight so here are the heart and tooth models!

Scully, our resident skeleton at Wythenshawe Library, looking through all the books on our shelves! Thankfully, he's not spotted the heavy books at the top!

Just Scully having his daily peruse (great word!) through the books at Wythenshawe Library!

As long as we don't have to help him with those super heavy books on the top shelf, we don't mind!

'Graphic Guide To Infectious Disease' by Brian Kloss and Travis Bruce on one of our displays at Oxford Road Library

A page on Aspergillosis complete with a great illustration!

A page on Lyme Disease, complete with an illustration we would struggle to describe! There is a spider, that's all we know!

A page on Endemic Typhus, with some great animal illustrations and a medieval musician who doesn't look too well, frankly!

We've got some great illustrations in our books, but nothing quite like 'Graphic Guide To Infectious Disease' in our Oxford Road Library!
