Great to hear that Shetland’s own Jen Stout is off to the USA - catch her and her great book ‘Night Train to Odesa’. JD Vance hasn’t been to Ukraine, but Jen sure has 🙂
Big news: Night Train to Odesa has a US tour coming up. First few dates (NYC, Boston, DC) up on my website now, but more to come (west coast, Chicago, Detroit) as we confirm them. Important time to be sharing Ukrainian stories in the US, I think.. See jenstout.net/nighttraintood…

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” Elie Wiesel #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD2025
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) shows us where prejudice can lead when it is normalised and encouraged. Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. We also commemorate the millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups, and in…
We were contacted this morning from a rather smug @_Stewart_Bain (formerly of @OrkneyLibrary 😒) asking for our reaction to the news that @AnnCleeves is publishing a new Jimmy Perez novel, set in ORKNEY. No comment. #TheTraitors thebookseller.com/rights/pan-sna…
Ooh ❤️ There's not that many trees in Shetland so perhaps we need one of these? 🙂
Searching for a corner bookshelf and this is what I'm talking about!
Ah bless, we are getting a bit nostalgic about the better days of Twitter. Remembering our beauty parade for library trolleys...
Get Ready. Coming Soon. Maybe even today. We will be bringing you…#TrolleyParade A beauty contest with a difference. Librarians everywhere - prepare to get over excited. #BooksOnWheels
