Some books stay with us long after childhood.
The ones we discovered on library shelves. 📚
The ones we borrowed again and again. 🗃️
Maybe it was the magical Matilda. ✨
Or the secret world of the Wombles. 🤫
For many readers, these were the stories that began their Library Years. Which children’s book takes you straight back to yours?

Every library holds memories -
The building you visited as a child.
The shelves where you discovered new books.
The place you returned to again and again. 👋

What library was part of your Library Years – Maybe you recognise one of these ones? 😄

What's one small thing you could do this month?
👣 Walk instead of drive?
📖 Borrow instead of buy?
🐝 Plant something for pollinators?
💧 Use a reusable bottle?

For generations, libraries have been part of people’s lives. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be celebrating The Library Years. The books, the memories and the moments that have stayed with us! ☺️

The start of September means a new school year. Fresh books. Brown paper covers. Carefully writing your name on the front.
Trying to keep them neat… at least for the first week. 😅

And alongside them, library books came and went all year long. Who remembers covering their school books? 🤔

Imagine if everyone in Northern Ireland made one small positive change this month. That's the idea behind our Green Pledge! 😄

One action on its own might seem small. Thousands of actions together can make a real difference. 🤝

What's your pledge?
