    So over the last few months kids keep coming into the library asking if we have any books about this thing FORTNITE. We don't and I'd never heard of it so I tried asking what it was.

    We have an announcement. We just found an old @WHSmith paper bag folded in a book and it looks like how things used to be.
    An old white paper bag with a repeated design of the text WH Smith in brown and cubes made up of the letters WHS in orange.

    In one of our archive strong rooms there is a shelf. The shelf does not contain the most exciting or interesting item in the archive but it does contain something amazing. A thread.

    If you've got a better photograph of a cat being furious while trying to appear nonchalant in the face of a lap-stealing otter, then I'd like to see it. #Orkney #Archives #SaturdayMorning #Caturday

    Every year on #Halloween we like to carve a #pumpkin from our collection of Penguin 60s. 🎃🔪 We're up to our elbows in juicy plots and seedy characters, but luckily there's not much pulp fiction. 🎃📚
