When it's finished - you'll be the first to know.

[We Heart Libraries @WHLibraries]

We've been out and about around Hitchin, Stevenage and Knebworth collecting footage.

[We Heart Libraries @WHLibraries]

We've also done a bit of work on the short film we're making - called O for Opportunity, from @ggnewed's Libraries A to Z.

[We Heart Libraries @WHLibraries]

Mainly by going along and using our local library - in this case, Hitchin.

Remember, the single most effective thing you can do today is to visit your local library #NLD14

Happy National Libraries Day! What are you doing today? #NLD14

Short version: usage has increased a bit by most standards and online use is exploding.
