Looking at the noticeboard outside the library, what's that yellow dot on top of the notice board?
It's a duck on top of the noticeboard?!? Let's get closer and have a look...
It is a duck!!! A very happy looking duck too!
Can't believe what we spotted on the noticeboard yesterday...we had to double check!

A pile of books that we couldn't find in our stock take - some huge books here!
More huge books that aren't on the stock take list - time to get our detective hat on!
Got a big pile of books we can't find on the stock take list 😲
We don't know why they haven't shown up - most of them are huge books, not sure how they've been missed!

A shot of the Post Graduate Centre, not the best shot but the sun is blaring down!
A picture of the car park outside of the Post Graduate Centre, the sun is casting a huge shadow!
A picture of across the way from the Post Graduate Centre - the tree is bare from winter but the leaves will be back soon!
A few pictures from outside - it was nice to see the sun again!

Not sure what our book stands are doing here - they're all piled up in a heap on the returns shelf. We can see they're not doing their job though!
We've lined the book stands up on the desk and had a word with them - they'll be back in the library today displaying books!
Not everyone's pulling their weight in the library - we had to have a serious word with these book stands!

Our Lunchtime Learn posters have been taken down now after a really successful week of events!
Our Reflective Practice poster on the poster display, two sessions coming up in the next few months!
Taking down some old posters made us realise that you should always check a library's poster display - you never know what events they're hosting!

One of our Oxford Handbooks has gone on loan, leaving a gap in our display!
Our scouting report has told us that Oxford Handbook Of Medical Education In Practice is the right replacement!
Slotting the replacement into the display!
Dealing with a departing book from a book display means we have to scout a replacement like a sports team would - lots of analysis and spreadsheets! 😁

A pile of books on the returns trolley!
We have checked they've been returned and put them on the returns shelve for shelving!
A NoW poster that has fell behind the back of the self service machine!
We were able to put the NoW poster back up again, might be time to get more Blu Tac though!
Back from holiday 😢but always happy to be back in a library again! 😁
We had a returns trolley to check and a poster to rescue from behind the self service machine (curse you, Blu Tac!) but we're back in the library groove now!

Here are our most borrowed fiction books of 2025!
Honourable mention to Before The Coffee Goes Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - we would have included it here, but it's gone out on loan again!

A date label from Royal Lancaster
A date label from Wirral University Teaching Hospital, we like the background the green gives it.
A date label from Countess of Chester, again the slight bit of green really adds to it.
A date label from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, note the fine warning!
We've been receiving books from other libraries for reservations and we're enjoying seeing all the different date labels!
We feel like an airport checking passport paperwork when we look at all these different labels! #librarysky #library #bluesky
Step 1 - clear the previous display books and posters. Here's our empty display shelf!
Step 2 - wipe down the display shelf. This leaves us with a very dusty wipe, but a clean shelf!
Step 3 - get some books for the new display! We've gone with some colourful Oxford Handbooks for this display.
Step 4 - Voila, one brand new display! We've got our Library Hub sign on top of the display cabinet with some Oxford Handbooks just below!
A new display for a new year!
We've spent the morning moving and cleaning, we think it looks really good thanks to the bright Oxford Handbooks!

'Plan and Organize Your Life' by Beatrice Naujalyte, just the book we need today!
A page from 'Plan and Organize Your Life' explaining the 'Hedgehog Concept.' We're fascinated by this - we never realised hedgehogs were so smart!
It's been a crazy Friday morning - we've been dealing with organising the library and trying to locate missing debit cards while nervously waiting for the snow to fall!
We will be reading more of 'Plan and Organize Your Life', we definitely need the help!

We're not sure what this is (possibly a car freshener or a label? It's a pink oval piece of card with a cat like creature on it) but it had been moonlighting as a bookmark!
Strange bookmarks, part 1.
This fell out of a returned book today, not really sure what it is but we decided to reward it's services to reading by pinning it to our noticeboard!

A sign warning us it may be slippery! Spoiler - it is slippery, there is ice everywhere!
A photo of the empty car park in front of the library, looking cold but very peaceful...
The outside of the library, looking as cold as we feel!
Another cold day at NMGH Library - we're doing our best to stay inside and stay warm!
Grateful for books and hot green tea on days like these!

Our copy of 'Green Kids Cook' by Jenny Chandler
A tasty looking recipe for a Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Peanut Butter Curry!
Happy New Year!
It's January which means we're cold and craving healthy food.
This recipe from Green Kids Cook sounds incredible, we're tempted to make this ourselves this weekend!

Charles wishes you all a Merry Christmas from his pool of Celebrations!
Merry Christmas! It's been a fun 2025 on Bluesky, we've enjoyed all the interactions we've had!
From ourselves, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Two of our new possible donations - Bob Mortimer's 'The Hotel Avocardo' (yellow cover) and Mary Watson's 'The Cleaner' (pink cover) along with Charles, the green Squishmallow who lives on our desk. No idea where he came from but he seems happy!
We always enjoy getting new donations, especially when they're so bright!
Charles, the green squashie thing who lives on our desk, likes them. Truth be told, we invited him onto the picture because we thought he was an avocado!

Christmas tree #1 - a huge tree just before the main entrance of North Manchester General Hospital. Love the huge gold star on top!
Christmas tree #2 - A smaller tree just after the main entrance, you can see NMGH Library in the background!
Starting to feel festive now - it's hard not to when you see two Christmas trees just before you get to the library!

Our anatomy model with some stylish green tinsel and a fabulous set of Christmassy antennas (we think that's what they are!)
Stan the skeleton in his Santa hat!
A tiny Christmas tree with some furry teddies on!
A 'Library Christmas Tree' - it's made from books! Has to have a big gold star on top too!
Getting festive in Oxford Road Campus Library!
#library #librarysky #books #christmas #christmasdecorations
Our anatomy section, with a book sticking out of the top!!!! Not sure who has done this, but the book in question isn't even touching the shelf!!!
Not sure who has done this - definitely wasn't us though!
Our library patrons are great, but maybe they should leave the shelving to us!

Our revamped Health & Well Being section!
Two of our well being books on display!
A nice pile of some of the fitness books from the well-being section!
Some books to help dealing with working from home and on e-mail!
Felt like we neglected our Health & Well Being section - like it's neighbours in Popular Science, it's also had a revamp!
So much variety in one section - there are books on cooking, drawing, fitness, well being and so much more!
