So important that @haringeycouncil have hidden elsewhere on their website a multitude of library closures #libraries #libraryclosures @haringeylibrary
📚 Meet Anthony, a passionate user of our #LibraryOfTheMonth, Wood Green. 🗣️ Hear about why the library is so important to him, and his mission to set up a Friends group to give a voice to library users. Find out more about our @haringeylibrary service: haringey.gov.uk/libraries

Some sad news to bring you. Former @NorthantsCCC, @DurhamCricket & @englandcricket opener Wayne Larkins has died. He was 71. Larkins played 13 Tests & 25 ODIs including being part of the 1979 World Cup runners up squad. Thoughts with his family & friends. #bbccricket

Where it all began! Fabulous story
#Hackney’s Home Visit Library Service has its roots firmly in #WW2 when an enterprising librarian started taking books to war invalids & those affected by air raids! Amazing story - give it a read! #VEDay80 #VEDay #homevisitlibraries @hackneycouncil

Nice addition to this picture. After #WW2 Hackney’s Head of Libraries wrote this about books #VEDay80
Stoke Newington Reference Library being used as a ration outlet for children & invalids during #WW2 to ensure they recover the necessary protein & vitamins. #stokey #n16 #library #VEDay80 #VEDay
