The feedback board is the best part of the excellent @MooreLib.
Also, please let the cat in ❤️🐈⬛!
@moorelib must have had a very level headed bunch studying here during Easter term-the feedback board is a very calm and tidy affair this year (cf. Easter 2023!)
This year we have games, wellbeing messages and, as always, lots of love for a certain seemingly ubiquitous feline 😃
