It’s Ukrainian Independence Day and I send a message of support to all the Ukrainian library staff who are determined to keep their services running. 700 libraries have been damaged and millions of books deliberately destroyed. This is a culture war. Слава Україні
The #Buymer_village_library was completely destroyed as a result of a missile attack by the #russian_federation. More than 4,000 copies of the library fund cannot be restored.

Librarians are facing redundancy and feeling unsupported. I'm here to help, with a team ready to assist beyond my skillset—but we need funding to make this possible. If you value librarians as much as libraries, please donate:

Our staff at @Liverpoollib have been overwhelmed by the response to support Spellow Library.
Not least our sincere thanks to @alexlouisemc for her Go Fund Me page and to author @Marnie_Riches for her inspiring #ReadingNotRioting campaign.
Thank you all.
#SpellowSupport
Spellow Lane Hub has now raised £250,000 towards its recovery and 300 writers have donated books, enabling a more 'ambitious' future for the riot-damaged library, Liverpool County Council has told The Bookseller.

Afternoon With Mental Health back in the news again and the sad news about Graham Thorpe once again I find I am having to bang the drum as the last Government did not listen to me so what are Labour's plans to deal more efficiently with Mental Health issues? Why is more not being done? Mental Health issues are not going away. Come on Labour don't just say the right things actually do something!! My Thoughts with Graham Thorpe's family at this time
