Love in the Library

Our Love Libraries display is flourishing with ♥.

Come and add yours to share the love!

Day 1 - Librarians go Gaga

This Saturday is National Libraries Day, devoted to all types of libraries, library users, staff and supporters across the UK.

Help us celebrate all week by adding a heart shaped post-it note to our display, saying why you love libraries.

Alternatively, add an online post-it note at http://linoit.com/users/astraker/canvases/Love%20Libraries

Each day this week I will be adding a poem and a YouTube clip about libraries, just for fun, starting with my personal favourite...

My Library

By Varda One

It's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks

It's a jet on which I soar
to lands that exist no more.

Or a key with which I find
answers to questions crowding my mind.

Building my habit of learning and growing,
asking and researching till I reach knowing.

Here, I've been a mermaid and an elf
I've even learned to be more myself.

I think that I shall never see
a place that's been more useful to me.

With encouraging kind friends with wit
Who tell me to dream big and never quit.

It's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.
