Very honoured if unexpected. A great organisation to work with and special thanks to colleagues in SLA Europe who helped me on my way! Looking forward to supporting SLA going forward.

It's taken a lot of thinking and preparation but we are nearly there. Looking forward to welcoming our readers back.

Ahead of re-opening our reading rooms on Tuesday 11 August we've released more information on how to book your visit, order your materials, visit our building and stay safe > nls.uk/reopening

Very excited about re-opening the National Library of Scotland Reading Rooms next week. nls.uk/reopening This will initially be on a booking system basis to Library Card Holder but when it is safe to do so we will look to widen this.

Great to see our readers back. Don't forget we're also open on Saturdays!

Pleased to now welcome new readers to our Library. Register online auth.nls.uk/join/ (it literally takes no more than a couple of minutes), book a slot, order the material 24 hrs before you need it and we will get you set up when you arrive.

Can Solid change the way we think about and use data? Hoping I'm going to find out from this really interesting looking event sla-europe.org/event/sla-euro…

Following today's announcement by the First Minister on Covid-19 restrictions, the National Library at Kelvin Hall will close to the public at 4pm on Friday 20 November until restrictions are lifted. Meanwhile, you can view our collections on our website: nls.uk/digital-resour…

Sadly she has had surgery is beyond me ##SayAGaelicPhraseDay

Today is #SayAGaelicPhraseDay, and many of Scotland's mountains have wonderfully descriptive Gaelic names, such as Beinn Liath Mhòr a’ Ghiubhais Lì - the big grey hill of the colourful pine. maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#z…

Great to see our readers back in the National Library of Scotland yesterday and in such good numbers. We are currently offering a pre-booked seating approach as we did in 2021. nls.uk/service-disrup… Hope to see many more of you back over the weeks and months ahead.

When someone in Australia sees a very white looking Bass Rock behind you and asks if this is an iceberg. I know we get get cool summers but....

Solar eclipse this morning. Why does this remind me of Pac-Man?

Amazing view of sunrise over Edinburgh from ⁦National Library of Scotland⁩ Special Collection Reading Room this morning

We're getting some fantastic comments on our "What's your favourite Library Space" thread x.com/natlibscot/sta… Still looking for more though!

Really enjoying #RLUK22 but slightly distracted by the framed Hibs top. Nice choice btw Jeremy!

Really interesting presentation from Sarah Pittaway on digital poverty and being open to all #rluk22 For some people "open" does not reflect their own ability to engage with libraries

Really interesting talk and follow on discussion about cybersecurity and libraries. Sci-Hub clearly a topic for debate with concerns of network security raised by some but clearly some ambivalence in the sector on whether to refer or not. #RLUK22
