Community spaces are essential, but access is unequal. New @jrf-uk.bsky.social research identifies 686 neighbourhoods facing high deprivation and a shortage of shared spaces: buff.ly/OI6K0Wl Public libraries are part of the solution: connecting people with information, opportunities and each other.

🎊 Last night at #LCSeminar2026 we revealed our Awards winners for 2026. 🫂 All entries drew out the great theme of our Seminar: they 'build belonging', in their communities, through work that extends far beyond the physical walls of the library. 🔗 www.librariesconnected.org.uk/news/librari...

It's #HiVis fortnight, and in this National Year of Reading, I would encourage everyone to #GoAllIn and celebrate reading in all its accessible formats - large print, audio, Braille... and the wonderful libraries across the UK that provide them. @sharethevision.bsky.social

It's World Bee Day 🐝 This is Eliza (Queenie) Massey c.1890 who was a bee keeper and lacemaker in Juniper Hill. She was the inspiration for Flora Thompson's character 'Queenie' in Lark Rise to Candleford. In her stories Flora brought to life beekeeping folklore which she had remembered from Eliza.
