🌈 We are proud to support Pride on Sea and celebrate the wonderful diversity of our community!

At the library, we believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, valued, and represented. Pride is a time to celebrate love, inclusion, equality, and the unique stories that make our community stronger.

Whether you're attending the event, supporting friends and family, or learning more about LGBTQ+ history and culture, we stand with you in celebrating Pride.

Happy Pride from all of us at the library! 📚❤️🌈

There's still time to complete this year's 'Read to the beat' Summer Reading Challenge, but don't leave it too late!

Join us in the library by Saturday to finish the challenge, collect your rewards, and celebrate all your fantastic reading achievements.

We've loved seeing everyone track their reading on our reading challenge progress chart this summer, and it would be fantastic to have a few more of you reach the very top!

Whether you've already completed it or just have a few pages left to read, we'd love to see you before the challenge comes to an end.

🎶 Read, return, and finish on a high note! 🎶
