Today we'll be officially launching our new Interactive Orcadian Flora Trail, created to highlight the diverse native plant life found in #Orkney. The trail is also an opportunity to hear Orcadian dialect, with flower poems created and recorded by the Orkney Voices group.

What a privilege to attend #WLIC2025 in Astana Kazakhstan! My first #IFLA event, too, thanks to the Emerging Leaders Grant. IFLA World Library and Information Congress IFLA Quick summary on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/imogen-n…

Didn't get too much time to explore The Burabay State National Nature Park, but what I did see was lovely, I can imagine spending a whole weekend here hiking! It was a perfect ending to my week in Kazakhstan! Now, to start the trek back to London :)

I have to set alarms if there is something I need to or someplace I need to be, as I will get totally drawn into a book and, if not stopped, will happily spend the day reading ✨️📚🖤

Go so excited when I saw the sign mentioned a Library, but looked everywhere and could not see :( Best I could find was a closed book store. Waiting for final flight. Heydar Aliyev International Airport to Gatwick :)

Love how many book groups Balham Library has ! I'll be joining in the September one cos I really adored The Beasts of Paris and want to chat about it with others ✨️📚🖤 And absolutely CANNOT WAIT to announce our end of year author, I really suggest keeping the evening free 👀

Watching Race Across The World thinking, "Wow, I'd be so good at this.... as long as my teammate allowed me to be in absolute control of all travel/logistical decisions." 😅 Altho, my inability to try unknown foods means I might just starve before the finish line heh

Made mini honey breads (or in my case golden syrup cos thats all I had at home) while waiting for the electrician to come to the flat to do yearly inspection. I added sultanas to half of them - easier then I fear, maybe become a staple quick snack 😋 bbc.co.uk/bitesize/artic…

Last night chatting to a mate at gig: Him "not seen you out in years where you been?" Me "working" "Damn thats sucks" "No, I love my job?" "In like history, yeh?" (We last hung out when I was doing my BA) "I'm a librarian, public libraries" "Ok, wow that is cool" Damn right! 😇
