Countdown to Halloween! Here are some of our library staff who attended the "Sing-Along-A Wicker-Man" at the QUAD in Derby. There was also the option to dress up, but we just decided to wear our usual going-out clothes. #Wickerman #QUADDerby

5 members of staff wearing home-made masks of a fish, 2 hares, an owl and a boar. Standard.

Something something healthcare. OK, we don't actually have a proper #tenuouslink for this but, er, let's call it a #WellbeingWendesday post because we think the 'ginger chonkster' will make you smile.

Also if you work in the #NHS don't miss out on the great resources from your local library teams.

Don't find yourself stuck in a staff car park for hours with nothing to do...visit our fiction collection to pass the time with a good read!

We need an excuse to show this cute panda so here's a #tenuouslink to an article titled "Are animals the best therapists?": commons.und.edu/cgi/viewcont... (Bet the rubber duck loving fluffball made you smile though & that's got to be a #wellbeing plus too).

The Library team got nominated for not one, but FOUR 'Making a Difference Awards' this year #proud. Congratulations to all of those individuals and teams that made it through to the final shortlists...

That "sad little life Jane" guy from Come Dine with Me who didn't win. We are genuinely happy for the shortlisted people, and we are only joking by adding the image this guy, who is obviously consumed by jealousy.

We've had a few bookmarks for sale at RDH library, with the proceeds going to the children's hospital but..there are only 2 LEFT. £1.50 each, absolute bargain! You snooze you lose! (cash only please!) #bookmarkfrenzy #bethecoolestreaderintown

Lovely felt bookmarks, one with a picture of a dolphin, the other says 'Love to Read'

We're starting to label up our devices to remind people to switch off when not in use. Hopefully this will help to save energy and unnecessary costs. So whether it's chargers, monitors or meatballs (see yesterday's post), if you're not using it, switch it off! #sustainability

Happy Learning Disability Week!
The theme this year is "Do you see me?"
"Do you see me?" is about making sure people with a learning disability are seen, heard, included and valued in all aspects of life.
