While the page above is accessible, for some reason the @internetarchive can't access it. And upon attempting to contact the communications team at Glasgow University about this, the email bounces off with a Microsoft error.

If anybody here is at the University of Glasgow (like @Katejjeffery ?), would you please notify internally that their contact email doesn't work and their news pages aren't archived.

Here's my take on libraries. Be prepared for cognitive dissonance and disillusionment:

@CakesOfPan@mastodon.social Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental. Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people.

@Light @Project Gutenberg Those in my area are a good place to chill, there are fresh newspapers and magazines and several pc's as so many books about anything. It is good they are still preserved how they are now and people quit many people visit them daily but Sunday. The bigger the city > the larger Library and possibility to even use DVD's, Podcasts and epub's as well with accommodated places to read quietly in a lounge fashion.
