We want everyone to be able to use and enjoy libraries, whatever format that might take. This HiVis fortnight we'll be sharing the things we have to offer people with vision impairment #HighVis25 ReadingSight

#HighVis25 Vision impairment can make it more difficult to use libraries, & limits your choice. That's why we offer Concessionary membership. No late fees, free audiobook hire, & free requests - so you can access large print/audiobooks from any of our libraries, at no extra cost.

This #LibrariesWeek, we're celebrating the ways libraries help with building a sustainable economy, changing lives & strengthening communities. We've a range of advice sessions/courses (& books, of course!) orlo.uk/0UzgL #librarieschangelives @CILIPInfo

It's #LibrariesWeek from CILIP, and the theme is #LibrariesChangeLives - we couldn't agree more! We think Sarah Smith, Libraries Development Manager at Brent Libraries, puts it perfectly 👇

#HighVis25 We have a huge range of books in Large Print format - over 10,000 in fact, with new ones added every month. There's a selection in every library, or check out our online catalogue: orlo.uk/uYCc5 ReadingSight

This #VolunteersWeek (& every week) we say thank you to our volunteers. The book deliverers, rhyme singers, fundraisers & shelf tidiers - to name a few! There's so many things we couldn't do without your help ❤️ Interested in volunteering? Find out more: orlo.uk/VqokB

We're excited to be part of a local newspaper digitisation project, with Shropshire Archives. 80+ microfilms from libraries are on their way to be added to The British Newspaper Archive/ Findmypast (available for free in our libraries), preserving them for the future. Watch this space!

#HighVis25 We're often asked, with the rise in audiobook streaming services, whether we still have good ol' CDs. The answer is yes, we do! Many, & we still buy new ones too! There's around 4,000 to choose from across our libraries: orlo.uk/a9XEs ReadingSight

Absolutely true! We're not all here reading doorstop-sized novels either. And if you use your local library you can find your fit with no pennies wasted - don't like the book/audiobook/magazine/newspaper you chose? No harm done - return it and try something else!

📚 Congratulations to all the winners 👏
