A wonderful read that completely encapsulates the life of a library, the state of the sector and underfunding, and its depiction of the library staff is sublime.

Library closures likely to affect disadvantaged families, closing off a vital source of access to books. Michael Morpurgo: “The #library is the last lifeline to reading... we should never, ever, in this country close down a library again.” https://t.co/BwHStqDWRr @Booktrust

Clydebank had a visit from #CleanAir Superheroes - @LinnvaleE p4/5!🦹‍♀️Inspired by The Lorax - who says 'unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better' - we described our #CleanAir superpowers (planting 'truffula trees' and using active travel).🌳

Libraries such as #Balloch, are such important and irreplaceable parts of their communities.
