Hey hey, I live in Scotland now! Still haven't quite wrapped my head around that fact. And yes, that makes me something of a compatriot to J. K. Rowling, which feels rather sweet. :-)

Speaking of which, I really need everyone to know about the awesomeness that is The Twitter Feud Between the Libraries of Orkney and Shetland, and Also That Time J. K. Rowling Got Involved in It. (You can find tons of gleeful articles about this, for example here. Orkney and Shetland are both fairly remote Scottish island groups – Orkney just off the north coast, and Shetland much further out than that – and they're both small, population-wise, but it turns out they have amazing Twitter presences!)

Also, one of our professors (I'm doing a master's in library studies, did I mention that?) listed out a ton of places where graduates of this program now work as librarians, to give us an idea of all the possibilities beyond just public library/school library/academic library. His list included a bunch of acronym-heavy British public sector things, including...GCHQ. You know, the British intelligence agency. There are librarians working at the British intelligence agency.

Librarian spies!! I feel this needs to form the concept for an AU fic somewhere.
