There are events that libraries can link with or ally with at different points of the year including LGBTQ+ history month in Feb, Pride month in June or commemorative events such as IDAHO on 17th May. Can also ensure that all other events have queer content. #cilipne

“When I get to heaven, I'm gonna shake God's hand. Thank him for more blessings than one man can stand. Then I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock-n-roll band. Check into a swell hotel, ain't the afterlife grand?” RIP John Prine. Thank you for everything. – at Nashville, TN

“The hope among library advocates is that the coronavirus closures will spark more awareness of the services the libraries’ brick-and-mortar institutions offer. “Don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” could generate more public support for libraries” wired.com/story/covid-19-lib…

So, there are 14 million people in the UK who live in poverty
Many of them do not have access to the internet. Many went to libraries to access it. Libraries are now closed
Corbyn was right about free broadband being an essential part of a functioning & decent society in 21stC
