Head to your library for this list of books for Read Well for #mentalhealth: https://libraries.essex.gov.uk/reference-and-courses-online/health-and-wellbeing-reading-lists/reading-well-self-help-books/ Order for pick up at your branch library too! Remember that public, professionally run libraries are safe spaces - you don’t need anything except a free ticket. https://twitter.com/EssexLibraries/status/1391756243497328642

Seems people are none too happy about Croydon consulting on closure of 5 libraries but now recommending options that mean cuts to ALL of Croydon's libraries!

Join us to fight for our libraries!

Croydon consulted on five libraries and, as anticipated, all our libraries are under threat of cuts or outsourcing!
