Another glorious day Dudley Libraries GLL with Oswald the Otter welcoming everyone into the beautiful children’s library. 📚📚❤️

Felt like I was in a real life fairytale today walking through the castle at Gornal Library to see all the new books. Such a lovely time with the Dudley Libraries GLL team developing our services ❤️📚📚

EmpathyLabUK we talk lots about how public libraries are powerful empathy hubs in their communities. So am delighted to be part of this Libraries Connected webinar, looking ahead to #EmpathyDay , with ideas/support for getting involved and benefitting those they serve. PLEASE JOIN US!

Today I’m attending the funeral of an absolute legend of a woman. She came here as a refugee and filled her life full of people of different religions and backgrounds. She was empathy, creativity and curiosity personified and what a life she lived. A reminder to live well ❤️

Really grateful and touched to have received this gorgeous blanket from some friends I helped with a creative project this weekend. I love projects that let your imagination run wild! Now for a relaxed Sunday evening. ❤️📚

When we focus on the good in life it becomes how we live our life

The Oculus VR headset significantly enhanced the experience of providing interactive, educational and fitness activities for children.

A great afternoon visiting Balham Library - as well as all the amazing things you would expect to find in a library, you can now borrow footballs from this library too! I loved the creative display ❤️ #expecttheunexpected
