What do you love about your library? 😍

Maybe it's the books.
The people who know exactly what to recommend next.
A group you've become part of.
Somewhere to bring the children.
A quiet hour with a newspaper.
Or something completely different.

On Wednesday 21 October, we're celebrating Love Your Library Day across all 96 Libraries NI libraries – and we'd love you to be part of it. 💜

Look out for more details in your local library and across our social channels during Book Week NI! 📚
