Celebrating Pride Month at the Gosall Library!

June is Pride Month, a time to honour and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and their contributions to our society. At the Gosall library, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued. This month, we’re excited to showcase a diverse collection of books and resources that highlight LGBTQ+ voices and stories. Take a look through our curated selection of LGBTQ+ literature, featuring both fiction and non-fiction works that span various genres and experiences.

Pride Month is more than just a celebration; it’s a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and the importance of representation. By amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, we aim to create a space where everyone can see themselves reflected in the stories we share.

We invite you to visit the Gosall Library this June to explore our Pride Month offerings and join us in celebrating love, diversity, and inclusion. Happy Pride!

Bank Holiday Monday!

Hello everyone!

We wanted to give you a heads-up that the Lantern Centre will be closed this upcoming Bank Holiday Monday. It’s a day for all of us to take a break, recharge, and enjoy some time with our loved ones. We hope you get to do the same!

We’ll be back to our usual hours on Tuesday, ready to assist you with all your needs.

Older people missing out on benefits support

A report from Age UK has highlighted concerns about the ongoing impact of the cost-of-living crisis on older people who are not receiving support from the benefits system. Many of these people are likely to be eligible for support but will still be missing out for a variety of reasons. Government figures show that an estimated 800,000 pensioners are eligible for Pension Credit but are missing out on this much-needed support.
