Bit of a drive-by posting. (Sorry. Life is beingā€¦ difficult, but Iā€™m getting there.) The versatility of cardboard comes though for me again. A Birthday Cake box for Harry Potterā€™s Birthday Party (which will contain wee, ickle fairy cakes on the day) #LibraryLife Just finished it yesterday.

A trompe lā€™oeil Birthday Cake box. The bottom, inner, portion is crudely painted to look like a Victoria sponge, dribbled bits of jam included. The top part (which slides down over the bottom/inner) is covered in lots of layers pink, wrinkled and PVA glued tissue paper.
The top/outside of the pink Birthday Cake box has green ā€˜icingā€™ (string liberally coated in green tinted PVA glue) that reads - HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY.

Visiting an old haunt today. Very surprised (& pleased) to see this tiny addition I made to the notice board yonks ago still there ā˜ŗļøšŸ˜‡šŸ¤­ #publibs#LibraryHumour#ForThoseOfACertainAge

A teeny tiny bit of paper doodled up to look old and featuring a few fake bullet holes at the bottom right. 
(Read in the style of The A Team into)

"In 1972, a crack North Lanarkshire Library unit was sent to prison by a Dewey Decimal Court for a shelving crime they didn't commit.
These bibliophiles promptly escaped from a maximum security repository to the literary underground.
Today, still wanted by the Head of Libraries they survive as shelvers of fortune.
If you have a problem bookshelf, if no one else can help, and if you can find them.... maybe you can hire THE A TO Z TEAM."

You can do all of these things online, but If anyone needs forms downloaded and printed or help filling them in pop in to your nearest library for assistance. Iā€™ve had all the various forms printed and ready to go for folk since the start of the year so donā€™t be shy, weā€™re there to help you ā˜ŗļø

When I was 4 years old I had a very lovely, & very well loved, pair of these in blue. First go of having my feet sized in the big machine you had to stand on (that DIDNā€™T squash your tootsies even though it certain seemed like it would) to get them. I was convinced these shoes made me run faster.

Well! The library is ready for #TowelDay#DouglasAdams

A tall library display shelf filled with Douglas Adams books, a sign proclaiming Towel Day 25th May Donā€™t Panic, with a very retro pit towel draped onto the first shelf. 
There are another two shelves below these ones, but the books are a wee bitty more well-loved so the ones in the photo are the prettiest.

I donā€™t know why this happens, but eventually the back pain books always end up on the bottom shelf. #ironic#publibs

Photo of a library bookshelf - the bottom shelf which is maybe 15cm from the floor - that is currently where you will find the bad back/back pain books.
