Menston Community Library
Bradford
Libraries are switching over to a new computer system which will come into
operation on 24th June. Jill
and the team of volunteers at Menston have been preparing for this but there
may be a few delays as everyone gets used to the new system. It also means that the online public access
will change. The following link will
take you to the new look catalogue and the log-in to your library account (The
PIN is the first two and last two digits of your date of birth)

New Website for Bradford Foodbanks
Inn Churches have launched a new
website to act as a one-stop shop for food support in Bradford - https://bradfordfoodbanks.org.uk/
The new site allows individuals and
referral agencies to find their nearest foodbank and how to get or make a
referral and also lists meal provision for people who are homeless.
More information – including how to
donate - is available on the Inn Churches website - https://innchurches.co.uk/2020/11/24/find-a-foodbank/
A New Online Group - Being There
One of the by-products of the Covid lockdown restrictions is that people of all ages have felt loneliness and anxiety. St John’s has formed what is hoped to be a peer led support group called Being There – because everyone needs to know there is someone there.
