From the Family of Clive Cussler: It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our father Clive Cussler at the age of 88. He lived a life of adventure comparable to the heroes of his books. A fun loving father and grandfather, who will be greatly missed.

We’ve got a copy of Just Seventeen from 1984 in the office today, brought in by one of our subject librarians. Some top advice about how to be a librarian on the agony aunt Melanie page. Calm, patient and hard working - that’s us!

In this letter to Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace proposes a calculation that may be worked out by an engine rather than a human – it’s the first time the idea of a computer programme had been set out in writing. See it in #BLTreasures bit.ly/2OyDCvT #AdaLovelaceDay

For #NationalPoetryDay, let's unravel a short thread that starts and ends with the earliest English poet still known by name. This is Caedmon, who flourished in AD 670, and his Hymn is quoted here, on a flap attached to the margin of Bede's Historia ecclesiastica.

Me: "Yup, that's right"
[Long pause]

RIP Ursula Le Guin.
Here she is in 1987, turning down an offer to blurb an all-male sci-fi anthology.
