“Miss it’s 2024, why are you still wearing a mask?” Let’s address the mask on my face - here’s why *I personally* choose to keep wearing it. Hopefully this helps make the elephant in the room a bit smaller. 😊

You can also go to a public library and have a conversation with a librarian that might help you expand your taste and worldview instead of merely affirming it. They’ll even let you check out the books for free.
You can give ChatGPT a photo of an empty bookshelf and ask it to fill the shelves with real books based on what it knows about you. Kinda fun that image gen is so good now!

A bit of fun at break and lunch in the library today, as pupils found out whether they’d got a trick or a treat along with their book borrowing… #schoollibrary #schoollibrarylife #libraryjoy #schoollibraryfun #halloween

Video description: pupils opening slips of paper to reveal if they've won a trick (a bad joke) or a treat (a lolly). Jokes include 'Why can't music teachers start their cars? Because their keys are on the piano!, 'Where do cows go on a Friday night? The mooo-vies!’

‘Why did the student eat their homework? Because the teacher told them it was a piece of cake!', and 'Why do plants hate maths? Because it's full of square roots!'

A few photos from a lovely morning spent hiking one of my favourite short loops in the Western Mournes. Always good for the soul! #westernmournes #mournemountains #hikingnorthernireland #northernireland #womenwhowalk

Reading a book in public is only performative to people that don’t read books. To a reader, every waiting room, park bench, train carriage, airport gate, and café table is another potential chapter.
People that read books on the train are lowkey kinda performative 😭

When someone gets to the cosy reading chair first… coffee and a book perched on the edge it is!

Anyone else looking forward to the return of Bake Off tonight?! If you’re inspired, don’t forget we’ve got a range of cookery books and magazines to help you whip up a storm in the kitchen, as well as some great fiction titles based around food too!

A cat + a crime novel = a pretty good Saturday.

Growing up with the phrase “Wikipedia isn’t a valid source,” only to end up in a daily life where everyone says, “Just ask ChatGPT.”

Eked out the last of my summer holiday with a very misty hike in the Mournes yesterday - navigation skills definitely in use!

Saturday afternoon cat cuddles with a good thriller - I think this means I’ve been forgiven for leaving her for a couple of days…
