Text: poetry launch michael mullen + fellow Edwin Morgan Award Winners friday 20th june indie bookshop week poetry extravaganza Next to the text is a cover image for GOONIE, by Michael Mullen. Looking down at a carpet of the same design, we can see a pair of feet wearing black men's shoes and dark trousers, and a single foot wearing a silver slipper-style woman's shoe and a bright red stocking.

Why does your library matter to you? ❤️📚

We asked 2,000 Scots that question and this is what they told us: www.scottishbooktrust.com/our-research...
Poster with map of Scotland that reads 'Why libraries matter. Final report: The value and impact of Scotland's public libraries.' Text on orange poster reads: We surveyed 2,000 library users across Scotland. You told us about: How invaluable library staff are The financial relief libraries afford An endless variety in community activity within your libraries A safe and welcoming space for marginalised identities Poster with a closed sign at the top. It reads: 'Our research indicates that 1 in 8 of Scotland's public libraries have closed between 2008 and 2024. That's 97 libraries. The copy of this poster is a list of recommendations based on the research Scottish Book Trust has produced. The copy reads: 'Our recommendations: 1. Scottish Government publishes a legal definition of what an 'adequate' public library service is 2. Scottish Government empowers local authorities with sufficient funding and resources 3. Local authorities train and support their librarians 4. Local authorities publish annual reports that detail their library provision 5. Public libraries are supported to develop a service improvement culture 6. More members of the public engage with their local library'

We’re mourning the loss of the wonderful Michael Longley, who has died in Belfast aged 85. A Vice President of The Poetry Society, we were proud to publish him in our magazine The Poetry Review throughout his long career. Sharing below a 2014 poem which celebrated his long marriage to Edna Longley.
