2025 marks 100 years since the closure of Monto, Dublin’s historic red light district. If you’re interested in the lives of the women who lived & worked there, I highly recommend Caroline West’s book Wrong Women & this episode of the Three Castles Burning podcast:

Delighted to have earned the National Forum’s digital badge in Universal Design Beyond the Classroom! It has deepened my understanding of inclusive learning & inspired me to embed UDL principles into my own practice. Highly recommend to library colleagues!

Universal Design Beyond the Classroom
Providing a fully inclusive learning environment is complex and creating a culture of engagement and inclusion that works for all students requires a shift in thinking and a change of behaviour at an institutional level. In this ever changing and increasingly diverse further and higher education landscape, Universal Design provides an effective framework to improve the learning experience of all students. This CPD course will give you an introduction to the concept of Universal Design and invite you to review and update your own practice.

Our next junior book club read is The Wild Robot by Peter Brown 🤖 Some of our members have already seen the film and I’m interested to see how that shapes their perception of the book.

It’s somehow 4 weeks since my mam passed away. At her funeral I read this poem about finding peace – something she struggled with during her lifetime but I hope she has found now. If you find solace in nature maybe it will resonate with you too. 🤍
