Slightly obsessed with this fella I came across in an early 19th century scrapbook in work today. Do I know what he is? No. Do I love and treasure him? Absolutely ❤️

Wonderful efforts from students and staff at the second annual UCD Archaeology versus Folklore bake off. Tasty AND educational. Now that’s a learning strategy I can get behind 😉 @ucdarchaeology.bsky.social

Back at work after a week of glorious annual leave but at least I have some equally glorious early 20th century advertisements to look at. Ah the joys of rare books librarianship!

My quest to find the perfect spice rack in Dublin continues. Trying to avoid buying online. Surprisingly difficult. Very close to going full Homer Simpson and making my own 😂

Found this one with a familiar name on a lovely little book earlier this week. Has now been noted on the catalogue record!

Love this little gem that came across the cataloguing table today, with its slightly psychedelic marbled cover perfectly preserved under its dust jacket. Always so nice when a book about books is … also a nice book. And this one even comes with a book token bookmark! *swoons* #marbledmonday
