Things in the library 29th April

Things about Ukraine...

The Ukrainian Book Institute is fundraising to print Ukrainian-language books and distribute them to children displaced by the Russian invasion. They hope to raise enough funds to have hundreds of thousands of children's books printed in Europe. The main printing works in Ukraine were based in Kharkiv, which has been heavily bombed in the war. These Ukrainian books will allow children to be entertained while keeping the link with their homeland.

Things to debate...

Festival of Debate is an annual series of panel discussions, debates, Q&As, artistic responses, keynote speeches and other public events in Sheffield, exploring politics, economics and society. It’s coordinated in collaboration with over 50 partners across the city, from grassroots campaign groups to the city’s largest institutions. Headliners on this year's programme are Gloria Steinem, David Wengrow, Jeremy Corbyn, Led By Donkeys, Shon Faye, and George Monbiot. It takes place between 19th April and 30th May.

Things about adolescent health...

The Adolescent Health Programme is a new e-learning programme from Health Education Englandfor all healthcare professionals working with young people age 12-18 years. The programme aims to ensure that all health professionals have essential youth communication skills and understand young people’s rights to consent and confidentiality. 

Thing about online safety...

NSPCC Learning and National Crime Agency- Child Exploitation and Online Protection (NCA-CEOP) have redeveloped and updated the elearning course Keeping Children Safe Online. The course consists of seven online modules including information on how children use the internet and the risks related to internet use. Updates include information on new trends and the latest government guidance on keeping children safe online.

Things about old friends and gifts...

We were very pleased to have a visit from Sujatha Gopal, formerly a consultant here at SCH and now Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology and Bone at Evelina Children's Hospital in London.. Here she is pictured with Sarah, our Library and Knowledge Services Manager, and the plant she brought in to go with the beautiful orange tree she previously gifted the library.

Things about stress release...

We are now at the end of Stress Awareness Month, but the Illingworth Library is well set up for all of your mindful needs all year round. We have colouring in, puzzles, games, leisure reading and space to sit and ponder and look over the hills of Sheffield. Here is a link to Uplifting Resources for the NHS, by the NHS which was put together by Heath Education England.

Things to make...

 I make this Satay Noodles recipe just about every single week. It takes 15 minutes! It's tasty! It contains vegetables! My children actually eat it!
