Well done to the pupils at the launch of their graphic novel Voices of Change, Heard in the Library, created with @MagicTorchComix and @TheAfrowegian about Inverclyde's historic links to the transatlantic slave trade and at how young people can stand up to racism @StStephensHS

It's #empathyday and in the library our young people have been writing words which they feel describe empathy, discuss what this means to them and then they hang their words on our Empathy Tree! Well done! @inverclydelibs @EmpathyLabUk @StStephensHS
