We'll no longer be active on here from the end of August, but we've loved the 14 years we've spent on Twitter and the community we've built with you.

In honour of our forthcoming departure, let's take a nostalgic look back at some of the highlights, starting with 'The Bra'

We're mid book-move in the Library at the moment, getting ready for our new space on Oxford Rd📦

Some of our wings are currently closed, but we have lots of alternative study spaces and PCs available throughout the Library building: https://t.co/hjtBmSm00G

If you want to understand what white privilege is, it’s the ability to walk down the street knowing that you’re safe from racist abuse. It’s the privilege of not having to second guess whether someone is judging you because of the colour of your skin.

SPEAK UP AGAINST HATE.

[City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 @CityofSanctuary]

No hate, no fear: refugees are welcome here 🧡

[Library_Lesley @Library_Lesley]

@mkhokhar I hate that my friends and colleagues are living in fear right now & that you are having to change the way you live your lives Masud

Encounter Festival (@LancsEncounter) hits the streets again in September - leading up to it I'll be doing singing workshops in Preston and Lancaster. Do come and join us for songs of longing and light to welcome autumn... #CountyOfSong https://t.co/22DUFUm94P

[Liverpool City Council @lpoolcouncil]

Mark & Debbie from #Spellow Hub, express their sorrow after the destruction of their community hub. The service gives vital support to the community & the devastation caused by the appalling criminal actions of a minority has left people in shock.

Heartbroken to think kids have been robbed of a safe, community space to read and learn. So I’ve set up a fundraiser to try and replenish some of the books destroyed and help get Spellow Library back on its feet. Shares and donations welcome

[Library_Lesley @Library_Lesley]

Proud to stand up to racism in our community today #StandUpToRacism #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

#Lancaster says refugees are welcome here. Fascists are not ✊🏽

[Library_Lesley @Library_Lesley]

@MMULibrary @is_glasgow However the night before opening to the public on 20 October, 1911 at 9.45pm, after a day's work at Miller St, library staff loaded an open-top tram car with books and journals onto the line from Argyle St to Kent Road (3)

[Library_Lesley @Library_Lesley]
