Our copies of Atomic Habits and The Atomic Habits Workbook together...not sure when we'll be able to do this again!
We managed to get an Atomic Habits family picture when Atomic Habits dropped in between loans
We're glad we did - half an hour after this picture was taken, Atomic Habits was back out on loan again!

Two of Sarah J. Maas' books, 'Throne of Glass' and 'A Court of Thorns and Roses'. Two amazing covers here!
A tower of all our new books - you can see the quality and quantity!

Day 2 of new book deliveries!!!
Some fantastic books here - we really need to start reading Sarah J. Maas' books but we have no idea where to start!

Our Autism Acceptance display at Wythenshawe Hospital Library! It's a carousel of books with a poster at the top.
April is Autism Acceptance Month, so we're planning ahead with this display at Wythenshawe Hospital Library!

A motley crew of returning books that have come from Oxford Road Campus Library!
Two of Olivia Smith's books on Mind Maps - we love the colours and design of the covers!
We've had some returns to deal with this afternoon, always good to see books return after an adventure outside of the library!

A little pink duck sat on a monitor base minding their own business...no idea where they came from!
Another duck?!?
This one turned up in Wythenshawe Hospital Library...where are they coming from?
#library #librarysky #duck
Our new LCD Notepad saying hello!
Our LCD notepad at work, taking a tally and recording those shelf marks!
We got tired of always looking for post it notes and got ourselves a LCD notepad!
So much easier for taking notes!
#library #librarysky
Looking at the noticeboard outside the library, what's that yellow dot on top of the notice board?
It's a duck on top of the noticeboard?!? Let's get closer and have a look...
It is a duck!!! A very happy looking duck too!
Can't believe what we spotted on the noticeboard yesterday...we had to double check!
#library #librarysky #duck
A pile of books that we couldn't find in our stock take - some huge books here!
More huge books that aren't on the stock take list - time to get our detective hat on!
Got a big pile of books we can't find on the stock take list 😲
We don't know why they haven't shown up - most of them are huge books, not sure how they've been missed!

A shot of the Post Graduate Centre, not the best shot but the sun is blaring down!
A picture of the car park outside of the Post Graduate Centre, the sun is casting a huge shadow!
A picture of across the way from the Post Graduate Centre - the tree is bare from winter but the leaves will be back soon!
A few pictures from outside - it was nice to see the sun again!

Not sure what our book stands are doing here - they're all piled up in a heap on the returns shelf. We can see they're not doing their job though!
We've lined the book stands up on the desk and had a word with them - they'll be back in the library today displaying books!
Not everyone's pulling their weight in the library - we had to have a serious word with these book stands!
#library #librarysky #booksky
Our Lunchtime Learn posters have been taken down now after a really successful week of events!
Our Reflective Practice poster on the poster display, two sessions coming up in the next few months!
Taking down some old posters made us realise that you should always check a library's poster display - you never know what events they're hosting!
#library #librarysky #poster #posters
One of our Oxford Handbooks has gone on loan, leaving a gap in our display!
Our scouting report has told us that Oxford Handbook Of Medical Education In Practice is the right replacement!
Slotting the replacement into the display!
Dealing with a departing book from a book display means we have to scout a replacement like a sports team would - lots of analysis and spreadsheets! 😁
#library #librarysky #booksky
A pile of books on the returns trolley!
We have checked they've been returned and put them on the returns shelve for shelving!
A NoW poster that has fell behind the back of the self service machine!
We were able to put the NoW poster back up again, might be time to get more Blu Tac though!
Back from holiday 😢but always happy to be back in a library again! 😁
We had a returns trolley to check and a poster to rescue from behind the self service machine (curse you, Blu Tac!) but we're back in the library groove now!

Here are our most borrowed fiction books of 2025!
Honourable mention to Before The Coffee Goes Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - we would have included it here, but it's gone out on loan again!

A date label from Royal Lancaster
A date label from Wirral University Teaching Hospital, we like the background the green gives it.
A date label from Countess of Chester, again the slight bit of green really adds to it.
A date label from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, note the fine warning!
We've been receiving books from other libraries for reservations and we're enjoying seeing all the different date labels!
We feel like an airport checking passport paperwork when we look at all these different labels! #librarysky #library #bluesky
Step 1 - clear the previous display books and posters. Here's our empty display shelf!
Step 2 - wipe down the display shelf. This leaves us with a very dusty wipe, but a clean shelf!
Step 3 - get some books for the new display! We've gone with some colourful Oxford Handbooks for this display.
Step 4 - Voila, one brand new display! We've got our Library Hub sign on top of the display cabinet with some Oxford Handbooks just below!
A new display for a new year!
We've spent the morning moving and cleaning, we think it looks really good thanks to the bright Oxford Handbooks!

'Plan and Organize Your Life' by Beatrice Naujalyte, just the book we need today!
A page from 'Plan and Organize Your Life' explaining the 'Hedgehog Concept.' We're fascinated by this - we never realised hedgehogs were so smart!
It's been a crazy Friday morning - we've been dealing with organising the library and trying to locate missing debit cards while nervously waiting for the snow to fall!
We will be reading more of 'Plan and Organize Your Life', we definitely need the help!
#library #librarysky #booksky
We're not sure what this is (possibly a car freshener or a label? It's a pink oval piece of card with a cat like creature on it) but it had been moonlighting as a bookmark!
Strange bookmarks, part 1.
This fell out of a returned book today, not really sure what it is but we decided to reward it's services to reading by pinning it to our noticeboard!
#library #librarysky #booksky #bookmark
A sign warning us it may be slippery! Spoiler - it is slippery, there is ice everywhere!
A photo of the empty car park in front of the library, looking cold but very peaceful...
The outside of the library, looking as cold as we feel!
Another cold day at NMGH Library - we're doing our best to stay inside and stay warm!
Grateful for books and hot green tea on days like these!

Our copy of 'Green Kids Cook' by Jenny Chandler
A tasty looking recipe for a Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Peanut Butter Curry!
Happy New Year!
It's January which means we're cold and craving healthy food.
This recipe from Green Kids Cook sounds incredible, we're tempted to make this ourselves this weekend!

Charles wishes you all a Merry Christmas from his pool of Celebrations!
Merry Christmas! It's been a fun 2025 on Bluesky, we've enjoyed all the interactions we've had!
From ourselves, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
#library #librarysky #booksky
Two of our new possible donations - Bob Mortimer's 'The Hotel Avocardo' (yellow cover) and Mary Watson's 'The Cleaner' (pink cover) along with Charles, the green Squishmallow who lives on our desk. No idea where he came from but he seems happy!
We always enjoy getting new donations, especially when they're so bright!
Charles, the green squashie thing who lives on our desk, likes them. Truth be told, we invited him onto the picture because we thought he was an avocado!
