A very sad day but it feels right to have a permanent reminder of Chris on the wall. Truth be told there are reminders of her everywhere I look in the special collections.
Yesterday we gathered to remember our dear friend and colleague Chris Fowler, and to name the Artists’ Books Collection in her honour. Chris’ dedication to her work as Academic Liaison Librarian will be known to many across the University and beyond.

Definitely recommend applying for this - I applied last year after Covid cuts removed our training budget and was successful. Got to be in it to win it!

Inspired by the ‘Vanilla: anything but boring’ talk @britishlibrary yesterday we’ve found this vanilla illustration from ‘History of the Vegetable Kingdom’, 1868. William Rhind describes the pod as having an odour ‘said to induce a kind of temporary intoxication’. Powerful stuff!

It’s no exaggeration to say that @CBeebiesHQ was the only thing that got us through the first lockdown with a two year old and our sanity mostly intact. Happy flippin’ birthday! 🥳🎉

Even now if we hear the beginning of ‘what’s on your plate’ we drop everything to dance around together. It’s amazing how much shouting ‘scrambled eggs and soldiers’ at the top you lungs can do to lift the spirits @CBeebiesHQ
