Hi-Vis Fortnight โ€“ Help Spread the Word! ๐Ÿ“ข๐Ÿ‘€
Every hour, someone in the UK loses their sight. Currently, around 2 million individuals are living with sight loss, and projections indicate that this number could potentially double by 2050. Therefore, itโ€™s crucial to reach out to those in the community who could benefit from the diverse content and activities offered by libraries ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’›
As we celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026,
itโ€™s time to Go All In! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ“–
Reading is known to broaden horizons, sharpen intellects, and ignite creativity โœจ๐Ÿง  However, many of us are not dedicating enough time to it. Could you assist in connecting a friend or family member experiencing sight loss to the transformative power of reading through the libraryโ€™s accessible resources?
Whether itโ€™s large print books, audiobooks on CD, or our extensive selection of digital audiobooks and ebooks, everyone deserves to experience the joy of books ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿš‚ Where would you stop if your life flashed before your eyes?
In The Midnight Train by Matt Haig, one extraordinary journey offers the chance to revisit the moments that shaped everythingโ€ฆ and perhaps change them.
For Wilbur, itโ€™s those golden days with Maggie โ€” his honeymoon in Venice, before it all slipped away ๐Ÿ’”
But rewriting the past comes at a costโ€ฆ
A magical, time-travelling love story set in the world of The Midnight Library ๐Ÿ’ซ
