Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Always take time to look after your mental health. If you're having a stressful day at work, or going through a difficult time, pop over to our libraries in EC1 at RPH and EC3 at CDH to take some time out. Relax, reflect and recharge #WMHD2022 ☺️📚

What difficulties are you facing now?
Would it be helpful if we planned each day together?
Can you show me what you like about gaming?

👀 Looking for free wool to make twiddlemuffs for our dementia patients.
“Twiddlemuffs are knitted/crocheted hand-warmers that provide sensory stimulation for people living with dementia. They keep restless hands busy and soothe and comfort those who are anxious or agitated.”
