Getting a book ready for an adventure to another library! #library #librarysky #book #booksky

A quiet start to the June for our returns shelf! We're glad to see The Names return to us - it's gone from donation to loanee to returnee in the space of a month! #library #librarysky #book #booksky #fiction #fictionbook

We rescued this cook book from a sale...only to find we already have it at home 😥 No worries though - we're giving it a new life in the library, among all the other cookbooks! #library #librarysky #book #booksky #vegan #cookbook

Catching up with our books that went on loan as part of our YourBooks initiative - they look pretty settled in the staff room, don't they? #library #librarysky #book #booksky #libraryshelf #bookshelf #fiction #wellbeing

We feel like we're being grumpy putting stickers asking library users not to write in our books, but you'd be surprised at how many people write in library books! #library #librarysky #book #booksky

We're not sure if retro bookmarks are a thing, but we did find this World Book Night 2023 bookmark in our cupboard! It's quite striking and in good shape - we now need to find a book for it! #library #librarysky #booksky #bookmark

It's International Nurses Day today, so we set up a new display stand at Wythenshawe Hospital Library! #nurses #library #librarysky #booksky #book

We've started our YourBooks initiative! This means we lend some of our fiction and wellbeing books out for NHS staff to keep in their offices. We appreciate NHS staff are busy, so if they can't come to the library we will try to bring the library to them! #library #librarysky #books #booksky

Shout out to our new copy of The Names - processed as a donation on Friday - assigned as a reservation to a reader on Monday - posted out on Tuesday Not bad at all! #library #librarysky #booksky #book #fiction

It's International Day of the Midwife today, so we've set up a book stand especially in Wythenshawe Hospital Library! #library #librarysky #books #booksky #midwife #midwives

Say hi to our new additions! These books are donations that have survived our rigorous selection process and been selected to join our fiction collection! #library #librarysky #book #booksky #fiction

Read all about our year. The @LKSASE Annual Report is now available on our website https://ambulance.libguides.com

We managed to get an Atomic Habits family picture when Atomic Habits dropped in between loans We're glad we did - half an hour after this picture was taken, Atomic Habits was back out on loan again! #books #booksky #library #librarysky

Spent our Friday afternoon producing our new fiction sign and setting up new fiction displays! #library #librarysky #books #booksky

Day 2 of new book deliveries!!! Some fantastic books here - we really need to start reading Sarah J. Maas' books but we have no idea where to start! #booksky #books #librarysky #library

New book delivery!!! We've received the first set of books from our new book order, it's always great to see so many new shiny books! #books #booksky #library #librarysky

April is Autism Acceptance Month, so we're planning ahead with this display at Wythenshawe Hospital Library! #library #librarybooks #books #booksky

We've had some returns to deal with this afternoon, always good to see books return after an adventure outside of the library! #library #librarysky #booksky

We're out and about today at the #NMAHP Conference! If you're attending any of the events, come and see us! #library #librarysky #booksky

Another duck?!? This one turned up in Wythenshawe Hospital Library...where are they coming from? #library #librarysky #duck

We got tired of always looking for post it notes and got ourselves a LCD notepad! So much easier for taking notes! #library #librarysky

Can't believe what we spotted on the noticeboard yesterday...we had to double check! #library #librarysky #duck

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! #library #librarysky #books #booksky

Celebrating World Book Day with homemade costumes - why not spark up a conversation about your favourite childhood books with a friend today? #justkeepreading #readingforpleasure #happybookmemories #librarieskeepingbooksfree 📖📚📕

A few pictures from outside - it was nice to see the sun again! #library #librarysky

Not everyone's pulling their weight in the library - we had to have a serious word with these book stands! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #poster #posters

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! 😁 #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky #fiction

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

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

Taking a glance at our 'At A Glance' textbook series! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky #bookmark

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

Starting to feel festive now - it's hard not to when you see two Christmas trees just before you get to the library! #library #librarysky #booksky #chrismastree

Catching up with study or CPD over Christmas. We have access to 1,000s of eBooks available 24/7 through the @lksase Library Catalogue. The library is open whenever you are. Browse the Library Catalogue here: https://ambulance.libguides.com #AmbulanceLife #AlwaysOpen

Shout out to one of our unsung heroes, the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub banner! Deserves credit for quietly promoting the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub wherever we move it to! #library #librarysky #booksky #nhslibrary

Not to be left out, Wythenshawe Hospital Library and Trafford General Hospital Library now have their Christmas trees up! #library #librarysky #booksky #christmas #christmastree

Getting festive in Oxford Road Campus Library! #library #librarysky #books #christmas #christmasdecorations

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! #library #librarysky #booksky

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! #library #librarysky #booksky
