This weekend, masked, far-right thugs descended on Dover and Portsmouth to intimidate and shout. It’s up to us to reject this hate. Brave RNLI volunteers do that daily, saving lives at sea. We must follow their example and choose unity over division.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Star Wars dubbed into Welsh for first time for S4C broadcast
Rhys Ifans, Matthew Rhys, Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Mark Lewis Jones among actors voicing characters from 1977 blockbuster There are a few links between the Star Wars franchise and Wales, including the secretive building of the Millennium Falcon in an old hangar in the far south-west of the Celtic nation.

Today’s poem is called ‘Utterly Betrayed’.
Utterly Betrayed
 
The Rt Hon. Ralph St John Cholmondley
having moped around glolmondley
for three weeks in Belvoir with glandular felvoir,
decided to surprise his fiancé in Frome.
 
Bursting into the rome, he found her
cavorting with an awick from Hawick
(via Worcester), whose close attentions
had left her all of a florcester.
 
His fiancé, who hailed from Beaulieu,
begged him not to get upset undeaulieu,
as Ralph stared at them, boggle-eyed.
Things aren’t how they look, she cried.
