Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

If they can’t have John Boyne, there’ll be no prize at all. Quite the hill to die on.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Thank god for AEW. I'm a broken record. IDGAF I'll keep saying it till the day I die. Some of you don't realize how great of a wrestling company they are. How long wrestling fans been waiting for this moment. It's everything pro wrestling should be coming out of your TV's AEW fucking rules 🤼♥️

hangman adam page becoming world champ at all in would truly make AEW unfuckwitable. talented gorgeous public school teacher gardener vampire arsonist cowboy pink pony girl who is a friend of the rainbow coalition and probably gives his flowers their own cute names AND he’s world champion? too good.

Your enemy isn't traveling by small boat. They're traveling by private jet.

FA Cup final day. Am reminded of this classic.

horrible horrible horrible horrible! horrible! inhuman and petty and cruel! horrible!

24 hour family mini-break to #highstakes2025 was well worth it. Mercedes Monè at the Donny Dome, and a banger of a title match by Michael Oku and Leon Slater, what more could we want? @revprouk.bsky.social

Barney is an ally.

I love them all. Thank you Eddie #nufc

Methodically muting all wrestling accounts on here because NUFC playing tomorrow means I have to put off AEW Revolution (aka potentially greatest ppv card ever created) til Tuesday night. Raging, to be honest.

This is @theguardian.com using a review of a Gracie Abrams concert to mock the personal hygiene of pre-teen girls. Is this really where we are now?

I suppose this is the place, isn’t it, to acknowledge that Vanish Into You is the best Lady Gaga song for a decade. What a popstar open.spotify.com/track/5IoPnN...

Just to say that like every year it's so nice to see your kids dressing up as Learning Languages in Early Modern England (Oxford, 2019) for World Book Day. Keep the pics coming!

“Over that time councils also made deep cuts to discretionary services – such as libraries and road maintenance.” Still a lot of work to do get the message out there. Libraries are not discretionary. They are statutory critical infrastructure with empathetic knowledgeable staff!

Great afternoon in front of the TV cameras banging on about my favourite subject - the many virtues of #libraries - #Newcastle libraries in particular! #toonlibraries #newcastleupontyne

Tactical masterclass at every level tonight, but special mention to the call to play Tripps. Exactly what we needed. #nufc

What happened?! #nufc 😏 www.theguardian.com/football/202...

We are honoured to have Cheick Tioté's son, Rafael as one of our mascots for tonight's game. Once a Geordie, always a Geordie. 🖤🤍

A double century in black and white for Jacob Murphy! 🫶

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

Putting our midfield up against Casemiro and Eriksen is almost unfair. I love it. #nufc

Love them all. Love this. Love AEW. Just…all the love.

Patrick Radden Keefe’s Empire of Pain, and Katherine Arden’s Winternight trilogy, are all currently 99p on Kindle. Incredible deals for some of the best books I’ve ever read. (Obligatory reminder that they are also always available for free from #toonlibraries - just a library card required!)

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Introduce yourself with four footballers…

Only thing better than a library book - a very old library book! #toonlibraries #newcastleupontyne #newcastlelibraries #library
