    ☕ If you need a hot drink and something to eat, you can go to the #BristolCentralLibrary café and use the marbles on the counter to pay. Each marble is worth £1 towards your food and drink, you can use as many marbles as you need. No questions asked. #PayitForward #Bristol

    #NationalGrammarDay is celebrated across the United States each year on March 4th. According to Global Language Monitor, the estimated number of words in the English language is 1,025,109! There is some controversy over that figure, but it’s safe to say it is over a million.

    Drag Queen Story Hour at Bristol Libraries will offer children a rich experience in story telling in an interactive way. Developing reading skills & an understanding of different communities provides children with a positive start in life that in turn can reduce inequalities. 1/3

    If you’d like to donate, you can pop into Bristol Central Library and buy marbles at the café for £1 a marble, then the marbles are put into the jar on the counter for anyone who might need to use them. Thank you everyone for helping us spread the word! 🙏 #PayitForward #Bristol
