During Green Libraries Week, children at Abercarn Library did cup weaving, reusing cups, and left-over wool. They had a wonderful time crafting. A story and craft session runs every Wednesday from 4-5pm. Everyone welcome @AbercarnLibrary @CaerphillyLibs

Applying to become Carnegie judge was the single best decision I have ever made for my career. I learned a lot, I laughed a lot, I met some astounding people and @not_judging was born. Life-changing in so many ways, this is a wonderful opportunity - go for it!

@MsKingLibrarian @kings_monkton @youthlibraries Wonderful. My copy arrived in the post today, so looking forward to reading it.

We could talk about how awesome this event is going to be and how you should absolutely be there OR I could list all the alliterative alternatives we could have used... Lit and Libations, Books and Bevvies, Titles and Tipples, seriously, someone stop me ...

Rosa by Starlight by @hilary_mckay is as magical as the inviting-you-in front cover by @RobinsonKH promises. Full of warmth and empathy, a read-in-one sitting beautifully told story that I’ll be reading again soon. Thank you @loveswimming ✨ 🌟 ✨ 🐈‍⬛✨🌟✨

[YLG Wales @YLGWales]
