This week our librarians are sharing their hobbies, with some book suggestions from our displays if you want to have a go. Here is Katie: “ At the weekend I enjoy sewing and trying to make my own clothes. Sometimes you’ll see me wandering around the library shelving journals in a dress I made.”

A Graphic with the text Katie: Dressmaking. There are 2 photos, one of Katie with a sewing machine, and one of Katie showing off a dress in a mirror. In the corner is the Try Something New Sticker

The text reads: Book Suggestions: Sewing for dummies, Make and Mend, DIY Fashion. At the bottom are the covers of DIY fashion and Make and Mend

In tribute to the late Ray Brooks the ITVRetro YouTube channel has today added the entire run of Mr Benn to its output. This includes the 2000 special episode 'Gladiator' which is definitely worth a look if you've never seen it. Maybe as a soothing bedtime story... youtu.be/ctHBeUMK8UU?...

Loving @literaturegeek.bsky.social's #dh2025 paper "exploring zines for DH research, methods training & scholarly communication"..."zines are a welcoming, inexpensive, and effective format" - and not just because it has a tiny picture of a zine I helped put together on it! Loving the 🌈 vibe too!

July is International Zine Month, and we are very proud of our new zine collection. Zines are such a versatile medium they can be absolutely anything: we have big and little; folded and bound; rectangular and square... #IZM2025 #zinescene

An image of an A4 sized zine called Ugly Mug 7 and a tiny zine called Recycled Wonders with the neon words Big and Little respectively pointing at them.

Image of two zines, one unfolded to show it is a page with image of Furby art work, and another bound called DVLSBLSH and they have the neon words Folded and Bound respectively pointing at them

Two Zines, one rectangular called Your field of Flowers and the other square called In the Gaps, with the neon words Rectangular and Square respectively pointing at them.
