If you've never read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd then this is a great month to read it - published 100 years ago in June 1926!
Of all the many brilliant books Agatha Christie wrote, Roger Ackroyd is considered one of her masterpieces so it is well worth a read. 🔍
Our friends at Agatha Christie have also sent us copies of the latest issue of The World of Agatha Christie magazine - full of extracts, trivia and puzzles.
Pick one up from Orkney Library or you can get your own copy by signing up to their newsletter at agathachristie.com
Last month our #LEGO display cases were full of perfectly pixelated LEGO models for our #OrkneyLibraryLego VIDEO GAMES theme! 🎮🕹🖱
All made by library users using our #Lego collection. Thank you to everyone who made us a model! ❤️
Our next theme is THE GREAT OUTDOORS! 🏞🚵♀️
If you're joining in with the #ReadChristie2026 challenge then the theme for June is the Best Agatha Christie story to Read in One Sitting!
The chosen title for this month is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd which is also being celebrated because it was first published 100 YEARS AGO!
Today we are wishing a Happy Birthday to Maurice Sendak, who was born #onthisdate in 1928.
If you've not read Where The Wild Things Are, read it today. Or if you've not read it for a while, read it today.
And then let the wild rumpus start.
It's a little known fact that back in the old days #Orkney horses were masters of disguise and could easily blend into their surroundings.
You might not believe this but there is a horse standing in this photograph.
LIKE if you think you see it.
SHARE if you DEFINITELY see it.
Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay so we're taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look at, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. For free.
What a system. ❤️
