Lovely to see my book, The Kind Librarian, is rippling out already. We need more kindness and although my book is about libraries a lot of it can transfer to other scenarios. @facetpublishing @CILIPinfo #Kindness ##TheKindLibrarian – at Burgess Hill, England

#OTD in 1840 the world's first adhesive #PostageStamp, the #PennyBlack, went on sale. ✉️ In our #MuseumArchives, a stamp represents the human side of science and public engagement: the exchange of ideas and information with individuals from all around the world, since 1881. 🗣️

Nature’s pitfall trap, the #PitcherPlant. Such intriguing plants. Frederick William Burbidge (1847-1905) captured their architectural beauty during his expedition to Borneo in 1877-8. #WorldCarnivorousPlantDay #DigitisedCollections nhm.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/…
