We had a fantastic class visit workshop with @TheRoundView at Little Hulton Library last week for #FestivalofLibraries. Using The Roundview toolkit, students got the chance to solve colourful puzzles that challenge the way we think about sustainability.

Hearing @PiersTorday on talking to the future generations on climate change, and that hope still needs to be weaved into the actions we need to take.

Libraries are some of the oldest and biggest carbon capture sites in the world, and have a vital role to play in tackling climate change. Keynote @PiersTorday suggests more books should be put in libraries, schools and prisons rather than being pulped. #GreenLibraries. 💚
