It's LGBT Pride month! Special history and awareness months help communities which have been mistreated or marginalised throughout history to be seen. We celebrate progress, promoting better understanding between people. Books shown are available all year, not just this month!

What a lovely half term we had in Hounslow Libraries! Each library had a craft session, and here we have a few examples - a real Spring parade of fun flora and fauna!

🧵3/4 We had a rainbow cat who could sniff out gold at the end of rainbows; a cat which came with it's own robot vacuum cleaner for its fur - avoiding dad's allergies - as well as a light on its back so it would never be run over; and a whole dream aquarium! #LEGO #FamiyPlay
A LEGO interpretation of an ideal pet situation - a cat with a light on its back to make it visible to cars, and its own robot vacuum cleaner to stop loose fur causing allergies.

A cuppa and a good book - what could be better (except, maybe, the addition of a biscuit or two)? Happy International Tea Day!
