Since exchanging some tweets a couple of years ago now, myself and some fellow Librarians have been writing and producing a podcast set in a strange University Library; well, Librarynth.
The first episode is available to listen to now on Soundcloud. there you will find Mrs Strangeways, Lara the Lost Library Assistant and Eddie Roam the reindeer that provide wifi, among others..
A critical moment in a budding romance.
