GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 15 April 2016

Another week as a participant in the A-Z Blogging Challenge has flown by. I found some new blogs, some of which I may follow and some which I won't visit again. It is worth visiting the list of participants to see the range of ordinary and unusual blogging topics there.

A few of my selections this week come from the challenge and quite a few from libraries and institutions. 

1. Jayne deals with some rescued items.
