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? 🤔

🌱 Can you help Belfast Central Library grow its Seed Library? 🌻

Our new community Seed Library is officially open – and we’d love your help to get it growing!

If you have spare seeds from your garden or allotment, why not share them? By donating seeds, you can help other people discover the joy of growing while giving those extra seeds a new home. 🌿

Seeds can be dropped off at Belfast Central Library during opening hours, or left at your local library to be sent on our behalf.

A small action from your garden could help something new grow in someone else’s. 💚

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?
