Our inaugural Library Spark competition has been won by Emily Togut Cole and her idea for an outdoor library study space AKA ‘Library Lawn’. The final event was held on 20 March and you can find out more about the finalists, their ideas and a few words from our judges over on our Spark announcement page. We would like to celebrate all the ideas and share a bit more from the event, with photos taken by Subject Librarian Tom Rogers below:
