🚨 At 3pm on Sunday 23 April, there will be a national test of the UK Emergency Alerts service. As we have seen in other countries, Emergency Alerts help keep you safe if there is an immediate risk to life by sending an alert direct to your mobile phone.

The Princess of Wales now has her very own Leeds Libraries card!
A gateway to books & our #ReadySteadyReaders offer for under 5s. Including Bounce & Rhyme, which helps parents bond with their little ones as they learn through play & rhymes. A great opportunity to meet others 📚
The Princess of Wales visited Leeds to launch #ShapingUs and discuss the importance of early childhood support: youtu.be/3Y_5N1bDWB4
Supporting early years development is greatly important to libraries. We were honoured to meet The Princess with colleagues and communities.
