Black History Month is drawing to a close, but at the library we celebrate Black history all year round. We make sure we buy diverse and inclusive texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and we continue our journey to decolonise our stock and provide an anti-racist library service.

In addition, on Thursday, staff from all the libraries gathered at West Durrington campus to learn all about CARLS (Creating an Anti-Racist Library Service).

The library staff from all of our campuses had a fabulous time at Brinsbury campus on Wednesday! We got to groom the horses, paint some pots, have a look at all of the animals in the Animal Centre and go for a wonderful walk in the countryside. @CCLibraryteam @BrightonMETLib1

Our second display was to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. It is imperative to learn about our past so we can have a better future, and as such, Holocaust Memorial Day highlights past holocausts and genocides so that we do not repeat them.

One of those ideas was ... a new fiction spinner that will regularly highlights different genres and themes. Our first display was all about crime, mystery and detective books. We hope students and staff will take some time to check out all the fiction we have, both old and new!

In December, we had two displays up. One was about Winter festivities around the world, and the other was about the gift of reading, to encourage staff and students to read over the Winter break.

Despite being a short month for us, December was very busy! We had the bauble competition and the literary Christmas quiz. We had some fabulous bauble entries, which made the choosing of a winner very hard - as such we ended up picking a runner up too!

In November, we debuted the new signage on the tops of the shelves - we used light green paper so that they're easy to read. Our two displays in November were about Remembrance Day and International Men's Day!

In October, all CCG Libraries received a donation from Penguin for their Lit In Colour initiative. Penguin and The Runnymede Trust commissioned a report into the diversity of texts taught at GCSE, and the barriers that stop diverse texts being introduced.
