Great to sit down with @LibraryFolklore to share insights on the Dartmoor Line’s reinstatement.
Proud to have campaigned for over a decade for this vital lifeline for Central Devon, and looking forward to the opening of Okehampton Interchange in 2026! 🚉

Straw poll, just because we are musing!
Our print library is obviously divided into themes as you would expect. It is also separated into British and World folklore with the themes repeated in each section.
If you were accessing our reference collection, would you prefer:
26%Combined British & World
74%Separated

Looks fab! And afterwards why not pop into RAMM for more transport and heritage fun with our free exhibition 'Are we nearly there yet? A history of transport'! 😊
We are in @ExeterLibrary foyer until 3pm today with information about our heritage project collecting memories of #Devon railways.

GREAT NEWS!
We have managed to secure a second space just 5 minutes from our current base so we can move our document archives and expand our reference library.
We are only £100 short of paying the first 6 months rent on this new room. Can you help?

We’re running a major fundraiser to expand our physical space at the moment. Our archives are growing exponentially and our library is not far behind. Can you help us to ensure that we can give more free access to our collections to everyone?
