To celebrate this year's Disability Awareness Month, we put together a collection of books to highlight pioneers, activists, role models, and some legendary fictional characters that inspire us all to champion inclusiveness.

And once again it's time to go back to school! This year we have chosen a selection of much loved coming-of-age stories, some of which were recommended by us by young readers from Hackney.

This summer the Great Hackney Libraries Quest is back! Our theme this year is Let’s Play – we’re here to get you reading about adventures and games and using your imagination. Play is for everyone!
