Celebrate LGBTQIA+ History Month with Camborne Library. We were impressed at how may books by queer authors we managed to pull off the shelves in just a quick sweep of the library. Representation is so important so it was great to find these all over the different sections.

It's LGBT+ History Month, but it's not always easy for families to find themselves represented in stories.
Here, we've put together a list of beautiful, inclusive picture books that we think you'll enjoy: booktrust.org.uk/booklists/l… #LGBTHM22

A worthy winner! We had lots of fun reading and singing this book at lots of different story sessions, we even took the book to a nursery and they adored it!
Did you hear the AMAZING news? The Whales on the Bus has won our #BookTrustStorytime Prize, as families and libraries voted it the best book for sharing with little ones!

We're hearing some great stuff from Deb from @LibraryCornwall about how #BookTrustStorytime sessions helped families feel more comfortable visiting the library - nine out of ten visitors to a @CamborneLibrary session joined on the spot!

Have you ever left a favourite bookmark in a library book?
Skipton Library have made this brilliant display of the hoard of lost bookmarks they've found in books over the last few years!
Is yours there?

Learning to say no is tough. It can feel selfish and rude, but it's all about setting healthy boundaries. It's okay to say no to things that do not align with you! Removing things from your life which do not benefit you can help your mood!

Camborne Library is proud to be amongst the libraries who have abolished overdue charges. #NoShushNoCharge
No More Late Charges, Ever👏
We're making a massive change to the way we operate the vast majority of our libraries: We're eliminating late charges. We’ve embraced the onen hag oll spirit by being more inclusive to give everyone the chance they deserve 〓〓

The Things that Fall from Books! This is of course a particularly eye-catching display at the bookshop – a favourite of Steph’s, one of the Foxed team, who enthused about it on a recent episode of the Slightly Foxed podcast. foxedquarterly.com/dr-wiener… #FoxedPod #FoxedTakeover

In celebration of @ShakespeareWeek I'd recommend watching the beloved @SirPatStew's readings of Shakespeare's Sonnets he read throughout Lockdown. He does every last one of them!
Sonnet 154. The final one. Here's to everyone who has been so kindly watching and listening to these sonnets. We never expected anything like this and we appreciate it enormously. Thank you! #ASonnetADay
