Inspire yersen at Nottinghamshire Libraries!
Our county libraries are now run by Inspire, a new cultural organisation launched by Nottinghamshire County Council. Inspire is a Community Benefit Society, dedicated to inspiring people to grow, learn and achieve.

There are sixty libraries run by Inspire, all free to join and use. If there’s not a local library near you, try the Mobile libraries which cover many of Nottinghamshire’s villages.
Aiming to inspire a lifelong passion for reading within their members, Inspire plays host to a variety of cultural and community activities. Here’s a taste of what’s on offer at Inspire libraries over the coming week:
Get ready for Autumn at Gedling Library by making your own treasure bag which you can also decorate ready to take with you on scavenger hunts and nature walks, collecting items you may find along the way. There’s also a chance to make simple bird feeders that you can put up in your garden.

You can visit the STEAM Powered Big Draw Exhibition and check out the much-improved Beeston Library at the same time. There are lots of light up illustrations to explore and interact with so pop along and illuminate some of the artworks yourself.

Moving Marks at Carlton Library is also making its mark for this year’s Big Draw, with the theme of ‘Living Lines’. Drop in any time during October for this free event and decorate a paper plate for the display wall, seeing how the pattern changes when you give it a spin.
