It's my last day @LSElibrary two weeks today so will do a last tweet from this account on 10 February. If you want to follow me personally, I'm on @poisonchallis. Still two fab events and an exciting school project to go on about yet though!

A new colleague introduced me to the word apricity, meaning the warmth of the sun on your skin in winter. From Latin, to apricate is to bask in the sun. Isn't that fantastic? Shoehorning it into @LSELibrary new Sunbeams school project right now!
