Legends, tapadh leibh! And even if someone is not a qualified librarian but have Gàidhlig they’re encouraged to apply as plenty of support to reach their library career goals 😉

I need help remembering a word I’ve heard only once. I was cutting across a field with friends & it was spring. Green shoots furred the ploughed soil. Someone said to watch for treasure ‘cos the earth pushes things up now’ and used a verb for this which we can’t remember. Help?

My latest @thetimes @timestravel film is now live! A tale of walking the length of Shetland, through sunshine, rain, wind and snow. This part of Britain occupies a special place in my heart. I hope you like it. youtube.com/watch?v=kkpmk3h-…

The islands’ favourite literary celebration of all things dark and dastardly makes a comeback in 2023, with the return of the Shetland Noir festival. We asked the staff at @ShetlandLibrary to select their deadliest recommendations.  📚 Read them here: shetland.org/blog/shetland-b…

Terrific to see @graskeggur's books out in the wild - literally! - and getting the attention they deserve! Love those books 😍🇮🇸📚 #Supersheltie clearly has impeccable taste in female literary characters for #InternationalWomensDay! 🐴

Good ‘building snow’ around the library. #Supersheltie has made a snow pony 😊❄️☃️ Come on by for some Nordic Noir to complement your winter reading. And build a snowman while you’re here. 🙂
