Okay thank you! I was doing it via the app. Will experiment further...

Hmmm, were you on the app or desktop?

I’m convinced it is an option on here! Unless they’ve taken it away which would be wild… but I just tried again and still didn’t see it.

Yes sorry about this - I thought we'd get the option to add them but I didn't / don't see it. The Insta version has them built in and the YouTube ones are processing, but I would expect to see an option to upload a vtt file at the same as the video on here, not sure why I didn't...

We are merely weeks away…

✔️ 1 million points for nostalgia ❎ Minus 10 for not quite featuring the Morrell...

The full entrance is due to be complete by the last week of October (fingers crossed…) so for now entrance and exit is still via the Fairhurst. But do come and study or relax in this area in the meantime… Wooop!

Here’s how the rest of the space is looking. We’re still finishing it off - plants are on the way, and signage is being installed today. But it’s starting to look and feel a really nice space to spend time in.

Here it is in its full magnificence.

👷 LIBRARY REFURB update 🧵 Look at our beautiful book wallpaper. You - yes you! - told us which books meant the most to you, and we put their titles on the spines of our wallpaper book wall… This lounge space is now *available to use* even though the refurb won’t finish for a few weeks yet.
