No matter how often you visit the library, there's always a new discovery to be made when you step through those doors. We spoke to Michael and Barbara to find out what they've discovered over years of visiting the library. Read now salfordcommunityleisure.co.uk/library-storie…

Did you know that it’s #GetTheNationLearningWeek 🎓 At MAES, we believe it’s never too late to learn something new. Learning builds confidence, creates connections, and opens doors. 🤔 What’s your next learning goal?

We are proud to be a partner of Get the Nation Learning Week. A new survey from @LearnWorkUK notes a sharp contraction in the number of adults learning nationally. Given adequate funding, public #Libraries are ideally placed to address this fall. learningandwork.org.uk/resources/rese…

It's #GreenLibraries week and did you know that using your library has a positive impact on the environment. From borrowing books and eBooks, attending community events, exploring our secret garden, or using shared tech, every library visit helps make a more sustainable world.

Our Chief Executive @HunterIsobel was at Stratford #Library yesterday for the start of #GetOnlineWeek, run by @GoodThingsFdn. Public #Libraries are crucial facilitators and drivers of #DigitalInclusion, and we are proud to support Get Online Week.

Mayor @RokhsanaFiaz joined @SciTechgovuk Minister Liz Lloyd at Stratford Library to hear about the work of @GoodThingsFdn and Newham's Digital Inclusion team to mark the start of #GetOnlineWeek. Digital Inclusion plays an important part in the Mayor’s Digital Economy Agenda.

Last week at Manchester Central #Library, we heard from #Libraries Minister @fionatwycross and people whose lives have been changed by access to @MancLibraries services. @DCMS have marked the event with this video.

Celebrating 175 years of the Public Libraries Act! From opening up knowledge to all in 1850 to today's vibrant community hubs, libraries remain engines of social mobility and democracy in action
