This Saturday is National Libraries Day, devoted to all types of libraries, library users, staff and supporters across the UK.
Help us celebrate all week by adding a heart shaped post-it note to our display, saying why you love libraries.
Alternatively, add an online post-it note at http://linoit.com/users/astraker/canvases/Love%20Libraries
Each day this week I will be adding a poem and a YouTube clip about libraries, just for fun, starting with my personal favourite...
My LibraryBy Varda OneIt's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks It's a jet on which I soar
to lands that exist no more. Or a key with which I find
answers to questions crowding my mind. Building my habit of learning and growing,
asking and researching till I reach knowing. Here, I've been a mermaid and an elf
I've even learned to be more myself. I think that I shall never see
a place that's been more useful to me. With encouraging kind friends with wit
Who tell me to dream big and never quit. It's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.
