The brilliant #AnnCleeves sharing what libraries mean to her! 😍💚

There are events that libraries can link with or ally with at different points of the year including LGBTQ+ history month in Feb, Pride month in June or commemorative events such as IDAHO on 17th May. Can also ensure that all other events have queer content. #cilipne

All staff should be responsible make libraries safe - be aware of behaviours such as hostility, aggression. Look at the kinds of issues there could be for example what kind of images do we use. Are they representative of all users?#cilipne

#cilipne Pride in Our Libraries fantastic event and discussion re how Libraries can be safe and inclusive spaces for all users 🏳️‍🌈

Really enjoyed speaking to #cilipne yesterday about the Reading for Wellbeing project in County Durham - people focused reading support and seeing some amazing results in 6 months!

A fascinating project, so many challenges in getting an idea like this off the ground. This idea could grow legs and run on a national level. #CILIPNE
