Thanks so much Calderdale Libraries for a fab event with Martin Edwards & Kate Ellis at Halifax Central Library today. Wonderful organisation by Craig and Alex, and so great to see David Duffy who invited us as part of The Crime Writers’ Association Crime Writing month.

Need a book but library closed? Need inspiration on what to read next? These were some of uLibrary's most borrowed titles in June, so why not start here, or with our other digital library apps - all free to access using your #Calderdale Libraries card. new.calderdale.gov.uk/libraries/digi…

Today marks the beginning of Refugee Week, where we celebrate the contributions, creativity, and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. For more information about upcoming events in libraries and other venues head to calderdale.cityofsanctuary.org/refugee-week-2….

Last week we were thrilled to invite Trinity Academy Akroydon to a special event at Bankfield Museum with award winning illustrator Martin Impey. We managed to get a few snapshots of Martin in action and his lovely signed dedication to Trinity Academy Akroydon school.

Our Beech Hill and Music for the Many orchestra did a fantastic job performing at Halifax Central Library today as part of Refugee Week celebrations that are taking place in Calderdale this week. Well done - we are very proud of you👏👏👏

Yesterday was truly an event worth remembering as over 100 people helped us celebrate Refugee Week. We had a moving film to an outstanding Beech Hill Orchestra performance coupled with delicious food and singing from Hind and the Jaffa Cakes. calderdale.cityofsanctuary.org/our-projects/r….

#Todmorden Library is still undergoing refurbishment work and can't host any Refugee Week events - so instead why not join the Kupala Festival at Todmorden College on Saturday June 21st at 10am? Lots of free activities and fun to be had while learning about Ukrainian culture ☺️📚

Clever Crow has won the 2025 Carnegie Medal for Illustration! Congratulations to Olivia Lomenech Gill and @walkerbooksuk! #Carnegies2025

There still time to grab a ticket and join us for a special concert with Calderdale based songwriter and painter Roger Davies at Smith Art Gallery, Brighouse on Friday 20th June. Come along and experience his unique blend of acoustic folk-rock live. ticketsource.co.uk/calderdalelibr…

From Todmorden to Brighouse, a new chapter is beginning. In our vibrant market towns and rolling green hills, there are powerful stories of people helping people, of creative ideas, of our shared heritage. Keep your eyes peeled for more.

Happy first day of Summer!! 🌞 What better way to celebrate than to tell you all that to get into the spirit of this year's theme of The Story Garden, we will be hosting a free drop-in garden theme craft event on Saturday 12th July 10:30-2pm at Central Library and Archives.

In a world with ChatGPT and AI, do we *really* need the library? Well, yeah! Not every answer is online, not every program is infallible - if you want to know the answer to a question come to us first. It's literally what we do. And if we get stuck, we'll be honest about it 😉

🌟 And now for something a bit different... In this episode, History Out Loud has a chat with illustrator and author, Chris Mould, about the characters he has brought to life in books such as The Iron Man, Animal Farm and the graphic novel, War of the Worlds. open.spotify.com/episode/09ZOrE…

Chris currently has an exhibition of his work at Bankfield Museum, Halifax, running until the 30th of August 2025. To find out more, please visit: museums.calderdale.gov.uk/whats-on/exhib…

Really looking forward to sitting down and finally listening to this, since I've sent the exhibition at Bankfield and absolutely loved it! 🙌

Real stories shape our fictional ones — we just twist the truth a little… or a lot. These headlines still speak to us, even years later. #TrueCrimeMeetsFiction #CrimeWriting DHH Literary Agency DICharleyMann DI Jack Dylan

If you haven't checked out the History Out Loud yet then you're missing out. The podcast has been up and running for 4 years and there are lots of fascinating episodes, drawing on the history, talent and just plain weird aspects of Calderdale and beyond.. #podcast #History
