West Swindon Library reopened today!📚 Following the closure last September, our team, along with Link Centre operator GLL, worked hard to reopen the library as soon as possible. Today's reopening saw 114 people visit in four hours and we’re thankful for everyone's patience.

Edith New's original arrest sheet for smashing a window at 10 Downing Street as part of the struggle for women's suffrage. Just one of countless treasures in the keeping of our @SwindonLibrary, which I was lucky enough to get a tour of today. They had to shoo me out in the end!
