Have you lost this badge? It was found in the library this afternoon. We gather ESSA stands for Emotional Support Stuffed Animal.
If it's yours, it's in the lost property box behind the library counter.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton. While she will be remembered by many for her extraordinary music career, her impact extended far beyond the stage. Through her Imagination Library programme, Dolly helped inspire a love of reading in children around the world, gifting more than 300 million books and championing literacy for generations.

Dolly understood the life-changing power of books and spent her life advocating for access to reading and learning opportunities for all.

For those who would like to learn more about the history and impact of Dolly's Imagination Library, The Library That Dolly Built is available to watch free on Kanopy, our library streaming service.

Don't forget that Monday 31st August is a bank holiday and all libraries in Suffolk will be shut. You can still get return items via our letterbox (to the right of the library's front door) and we'll deal with them when we open as usual on Tuesday 1st September.
The mobile libraries won't be running their routes on 31st August and the Customer Service line will also be unavailable.
