We are heartbroken here Imperial College London at the loss of our colleague and friend Lynne, seen here on the left just a year ago all full of life, wisdom, humour and the most amazing expertise in all things research policy. R.I.P.

Public libraries are vital to our social fabric. Places to learn & enjoy leisure. Also they: - are places to meet - benefit from connectivity, physically & digitally - invite us to engage in our communities. Without this social infrastructure neighbourhoods are left behind.

It was inspiring to hear Florence Eshalomi MP speak with such passion about her love of Libraries, without them she says she may not have passed her GCSE's. #LibrariesChangeLives

I spoke to a library manager who had just reviewed the patient information produced by her hospital - on average requiring a reading age of 18.2 years. The national average is 9 - 11 yrs. We need a selection of materials on each condition that respect different literacy levels.

I was not expecting THAT and was deeply deeply humbled by the kind words of Masud Khokhar and Jane Harvell. I cried! Thank you to all my RLUK Research Libraries UK colleagues - we can and do do so much together and it is always a pleasure to collaborate.

Hi Amazon Help Amazon.co.uk I'm a longstanding customer with valid payment details on my account. Your system is saying MY bank is declining payments. My bank says that new regs mean suppliers have to implement additional checks or payments will be declined. When will you do this?

Hello Lewisham Council, I paid for a white crossover bar for our property on 18th March and was advised it would be complete in 8 weeks. Despite chasing, we are now 12 weeks and counting and still with no news as to when the work will be done.
