“Without @BoltonLMS I’d never have read books, never heard tapes, this library opened up another world. You could experiment and nothing was wasted because it was right there, you could explore!” - Maxine Peake #FestivalofLibraries

@trumerz So not cool 😡

Not cool Ash. Not cool at all.

There's a fountain in Budapest that looks like a book: every few seconds a sheet of water blasts forth from the book's spine, creating the illusion that an invisible force is turning the pages of this marble tome.

A fantastic first day of our Dummy Heroes Campaign @boltonLMS. The heroes collected 5 dummies from some very brave children, and gave lots of advice around Speech and Language Development. The children made some excellent crowns, masks and fairy wands too!

@macinnes_neil @MancLibraries @BoltonLMS It was great to meet them and a pleasure to show them round

My amazing @MancLibraries SLT visited the beautifully transformed @BoltonLMS Central Library yesterday and loved it - it’s so important to get teams out to see what else is happening across the sector and celebrate colleagues - and they loved it - well done 👏

Back from a trip & immediately spotted the tell tale signs of a gathering! In SIX WORDS OR SO sum up the giveaway signs after YOUR teen parties, recent shindigs & legendary rave ups. Maybe damage, sofa stain, scattered records, takeaway packaging or missing booze? Tell all!

Bolton will be Greater Manchester Town of Culture for 2024. Looking forward to working with partners and residents to create wonderful experiences. Here’s to a happy and creative year in Bolton 🤩

What a busy opening day we have had at Bolton Central Library. Feet are up!

@ayubkhan786 at the opening of @BoltonLMS said, ‘It may sound obvious, but it’s important, when redesigning libraries, to take the shell as a starting point - or blank canvas - and to visualise the potential spaces it could offer and Bolton have certainly done this!’

@MrsRieB I learnt that at brownies in the 80’s. No body likes me, I can still remember the words and actions now 😂

Copied from a FB post. A local library have decorated a tree with warm bobble hats. They are available to anyone in need. After Christmas any that are left will be given to the homeless charities in the area. #localknitters #kindness #getknitting

I sometimes think that there is no end to the inventiveness of Library staff, nor to their awareness of their community and desire to contribute. This is awesome
