This is your annual reminder to shift your car off the Up Helly Aa route by 2pm lest it be towed away for ceremonial burning. 🙂🔥
More snow! It’s been quite a week of it, but the Library as always is a warm cosy haven 🙂❤️❄️☃️
We were delighted to get a visit from @dunnjons.bsky.social today who presented SuperSheltie with a copy of his new book, Butterflies, for the library!
What a lovely new addition to the library for #WorldBookDay
Thank you Jon!

What was your Easter reading?
Librarian Louise loved The Full Moon Coffee Shop, by Mai Mochizuki - so lightsome and enjoyable to enjoy over the long weekend
Aside, is there a term for the fantastic Cat Fiction genre?

We are open today until 8pm but our Reminiscing session and Lego hour are cancelled. we’re sorry for the inconvenience as weather disruptions continue.
WELL! This series of #TheTraitors has certainly got us on the edge of our seats (and often arguing with the TV screen!) No spoilers here, but if you would like to read Harriet’s published work- they are available to request from the Library!
We’ve totted up our ‘most borrowed’ lists for 2025 and guess what, local favourite Jen Hadfield out-loaned @richardosman1.bsky.social for top book! Great loans for Malachy Tallack and Marianne Brown too. We love Richard too of course! Read more on our website:

Annually, on the last Tuesday in January- if you’re late for work and use the excuse “a bunch of Vikings & a longship were holding up traffic” it is perfectly acceptable. 😉
🔥 Wishing Guizer Jarl Lynden Nicolson, his squad and all a brilliant Up Helly Aa 2026! 🔥
