Non-league football grounds are always interesting spaces, but they don't come much better than Blyth Spartans. Hidden away behind terraced housing, it feels like an old-school Football League ground. Blyth Spartan 1 North Ferriby FC 0.

The end of a tiring and inspiring week working with the amazing @hulllibraries.bsky.social team, helping to deliver the The Big Malarkey children's book festival. Same time next year? 💪

Hull Libraries@hulllibraries.bsky.social

Back in the office today after a fabulous 10 days! Thanks to everyone who joined us at the #BigMalarkey festival - we had an absolutely amazing time and hope you did too! 🎉 We can’t wait to do it all again next year for our 10th anniversary! 🌟 Save the date - 26 + 27 June 2027 - see you next year!

A fine battalion of men to go to war with... yesterday saw the annual North Ferriby F.C. Walking Football Tournament... P9 W3 D3 L3... two more points and we would have made the final/been left at the back of the buffet queue in the clubhouse ... ⚽️

Questions done... do come along next Wednesday night 👇

Hull City are in the Championship play-off final. Hull, who finished sixth, won 2-0 away against Millwall, who finished third, to book their place at Wembley. Second-half goals from Mohamed Belloumi and Joe Gelhardt were enough after a goalless first leg.

Excellent story. Would vote for them.

Why Did The Housemartins Stand For Election In Hull? Before hitting the top of the charts, Stan and Paul once fancied their chances running the city. Our pop politician correspondent Angus Young digs deeper curiosityhull.co.uk/why-did-the-... @hulllibraries.bsky.social @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social

OH MY GOD THE PREMATURE PITCH INVASION ADDED TIME GOAL! York City took the title and promotion to League Two from Rochdale with a 102nd-minute goal in the time added on after the home fans invaded the pitch thinking they’d won in the 95th minute!

Our next Hull Noir event 😍

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

A wonderful evening! 🎥📚

Thanks so much for joining us at @hulllibraries.bsky.social last night to see 'Double Indemnity' and hear from Natalie Marlow. We appreciate the support! Film night will return in July. (Photos by us, @jebookshull.bsky.social and @sarahbabsmorgan.bsky.social). 📸

Really sad news... a giant and legend of #Hull ... it's not just the entertainment Jacko gave us, which has been plentiful for me for thirty years, but it was (and still is) a place to find your tribe and be inspired to create friendships and relationships for life. #RIPJacko
