Don't forget - If you haven't filled in the consultation on the proposal to move Batley Library into the Town Hall, there's still time! Do it online here kirklees.gov.uk/beta/librari… or ask a staff member for a paper copy, which must be returned by Monday at the latest!

“I struggled with reading as a child, but eventually became a book lover through borrowing sports fiction, non-fiction and biography from public libraries.”

Our garden is officially wildlife friendly! We've seen a lot of birds on the feeder and today we found some ladybird larvae on the Dahlia seedlings #TeamWilder

Incredible; emotional; different from what we hear; simple yet very powerful.
Just some of the feedback from the moving experience of the Dear Laila exhibition.
Thank you to Bezal and all who came. And to Laila who inspired all this.
