🔵Reform won four seats. 🟢The Greens won four seats. This graphic shows the four Reform seats. The four Green seats are lumped in with ‘other’. It has begun. There will be more. Call it out when you see it. Give the Greens the platform they have earned.

This wonderful blog post written by one of our very talented conservators includes some beautiful photographs of one of our badly burned books that dates from 1507. I'm always impressed by the highly-skilled work of rare book conservators. kcctreasures.com/2023/12/04/the…

Don't forget, first Eurovision semi final tonight live from Liverpool at 8pm on BBC1!


Just finished 'Boy Like Me' by @simonjamesgreen Important, funny, heatbreaking and real. Fantastic! It's the story of so many of us growing up gay under Section 28 in 1980s and 90s Britain. It has also inspired me to be a better librarian more like Mrs C! tinyurl.com/4dn95bwf


Delighted that after months in the planning this is now online in time to celebrate #Folio400 kings.cam.ac.uk/news/2023/king…

Three weeks ago I noticed a collared dove had built a nest on the sloping roof of a bird box on the front of our house just beneath the roof. Today there is a juvenile sat up there whilst the parents watch from the telegraph post opposite! @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW
