During 40 yrs delivering #library services to the #housebound elderly from all community cultures & creeds, I’m struck how many pictures of the #Queen I’ve seen on walls.
I’ve also seen pics of her give comfort to those living with dementia

'Library outreach often targets communities that have limited or no access to digital resources. It is ironic then that...it was the technology of social media platforms that brought me to ABOS and their inspirational work.'

In May 79 a 6th former began a Saturday job at Muswell Hill Library. It was for money, the sweet shop he worked in paid £5 & the library paid £9, with tea breaks!
What did he want? A medal?
Today, 44 yrs later, he got a #BritishEmpireMedal for services to #HomeVisitLibraries
Mad!
#HackneyCommunityLibrary spent this morning with Friends of #WoodberryDown , who run coffee mornings and activities to reduce isolation for older adults.
