We have an announcement. The Archive will be CLOSED tomorrow (Saturday 13th December) due to staff sickness. Apologies for any disappointment. The Library will be OPEN as normal. We hope this Archive photograph of a man falling off a sledge makes up for any disappointment.

All summer we get sent photos of balls from around the world. ⚪️✈️ It usually quietens down a bit in the winter, but then, it's always summer somewhere...

I’ve worked in public libraries for 20 years, today was the first time we’ve had to tell someone they couldn’t bring their chainsaw in the library.

It's 16 minutes past 3. The sun has set in #Orkney. Just 6 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today. We are almost at the shortest day but there will still be 9 minutes less daylight on the #WinterSolstice. And then the light returns. 💡

It's a little known fact that back in the old days, girls liked to celebrate #Christmas by walking about in threes.

Have we caught you time travelling again @richardosman?
Hey @richardosman when did you discover time travel and also were you a school teacher called Mr Shaw living in #Orkney in 1971? #PhotographicArchives

Most men don’t lack motivation. They lack direction and a system to rebuild their life after setbacks. If you’ve been trying to push through on your own… start here instead.👇

We received a very lovely, generous donation of knitted winter hats so we've made a Winter Warmer Tree to go along with our Winter Coat Rail. 🧶 Anyone needing a cosy hat can take what they need, and if anyone has a spare warm hat they can add it to the tree! ❤️ #LoveLibraries
