2025 marks 100 years since the closure of Monto, Dublin’s historic red light district. If you’re interested in the lives of the women who lived & worked there, I highly recommend Caroline West’s book Wrong Women & this episode of the Three Castles Burning podcast:

Thanks to inspiration from @dculibrary.bsky.social at the @aslibraries.bsky.social conference, I’ve set up a De-stress Table! Herbal tea, chocolate, fidget toys, mindful colouring, uplifting quotes, a community jigsaw – little things to help students relax and recharge as we near the end of term.

Great book club session on #TheWildRobot by @peterbrownstudio.com this weekend! 🤖 🌱
We discussed nature vs tech, the power of community & what it means to survive. From planning our own island survival to designing unique landscapes, these young readers proved they’re just as resourceful as Roz.
