Parkour parkour! Please do not attempt these tricks at home or in the library. We are at expert level 😉🤸‍♂️

[In this video the librarian is doing a series of joke parkour tricks around the library like tapping her foot on a chair, leaning on desks, running up to a post before hitting it and running off and jumping up the library entrance ramp using the handrails for support. She finishes with a yes I did it fist pump!]

Join us for an evening with Robin as he discusses his acclaimed book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal – What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal?

Robin Ince is many things. A multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster, bibliomaniac and a populariser of scientific ideas. He is perhaps best known as the former co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox.
