Who can resist a love letter? This month’s Cambridge letter celebrates love letters in different forms, from a new exhibition in the National Archives to a letter from a young researcher in the 1920s, setting out all the reasons why she shouldn’t marry a Cambridge don. Amidst all the bad news out there, did you know that the fourth Wednesday of January every year is ‘Library Shelfie Day’? It’s a celebration that was instigated by the New York Public Library in 2014 to encourage a love of reading by asking the public to share their photographs of books, libraries and librarians. Below is a recent glimpse of my home library, or rather one small corner of it, containing some of the books I refer to most. How do you arrange your own books, and did a librarian or library inspire you when you were younger? I’d love to hear your stories!
