📚We’re now on Instagram!

We know we’re a little late to the party but Sandwell Libraries is finally on Instagram. We’ve spent years encouraging everyone else to get connected, so we thought it was about time we joined in too.

Give us a follow for events, activities, library life and the occasional reminder that libraries are much more than just books.

We promise not to post pictures or overdue books 👀

Following yesterday’s event with Peter James,

Today we welcomed Hugh Bonneville, best known for Downton Abbey and the Paddington films, to West Bromwich Town Hall for a special event with schools from across Sandwell.

As part of the National Year of Reading, it was wonderful to see so many young people inspired by stories, books and creativity.

A huge thank you to all the schools who attended, and to Cat Weatherill for being a fantastic interviewer and helping make the event such an engaging and memorable experience.
