Highlighted is the map of Jamaica in honour of the Rebellion to Romance exhibition.

business

Celebrate entrepreneurship everywhere with our Business & IP Centre

We’re celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week next week, aimed at making it easier for anyone, anywhere, to start and scale their business. Whether you’ve got an idea for a new business, you’re just starting up, or you want a refresher on some of the business basics, join your local BIPC at libraries across West Yorkshire for free events and workshops.

We’ll also be hosting an interactive session at Leeds Central Library on 22 November focusing on the power of networking and building connections. Sign-up here.


Leeds City Council launches new online map with winter ‘warm spaces’

With the winter months fast approaching, we have been working with other organisations in Leeds to provide ‘warm spaces’ across the city, where a warm welcome will include free hot refreshments and activities for children and families, in addition to the existing services of free access to books, computers and wi-fi. The ‘warm spaces’ will be an alternative to spending time at home for those who are worried about the cost of living and higher energy bills.

An online map showing the location of all the ‘warm spaces’ in Leeds is now live, at Warm Spaces Public app (arcgis.com). At the moment, the map only shows ‘warm spaces’ which are located at council-managed venues such as libraries and Community Hubs. However, we are continuing to work with partners across the city, including third sector and faith groups, to add more locations which will appear on the map when they have been confirmed.

For cost of living advice and guidance from Leeds City Council, go to Together Leeds


Have you had your winter boosters?

For people over 50, getting a COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine is one of the most important things they can do to protect their health.

Visit nhs.uk/wintervaccinations for details.


If you would like to volunteer with Leeds Libraries you can find out more here.

Do you know someone who could benefit from support to get online? Find out how we can help: leeds.gov.uk/libraries/learn-in-the-library

Thank you for reading our newsletter, we are always happy to welcome you, get in touch or find your local library
