J K Rowling recently paid a surprise visit to the Orkney Library, where I just happened to be attending the very book club that she had decided to pop in and visit.  Not your everyday event, but an indication of how highly regarded Stewart Bain (Orkney's chief Librarian and all round good guy) is. Stewart has been tweeting Orkney Library for some time and there has been an ongoing rivalry with Shetland Library and back and forth with a variety of writers. We knew J K Rowling followed Orkney Library, but to the extent of turning up for the day on a rainy Saturday? Nah...never going to happen.
