We've got a great new interactive version of our Virtual Archive here on ground floor at Archives+ in Central Library- it's wonderful to see it back in action. Why not swing by and tell us what you think? @MancLibraries @hacking4chorltz @ManCityCouncil @LordMayorOfMcr

Fascinating spotlight on Oxford Mills & contribution South Asian family businesses made and continue to make to GM textiles industries thru late 20th-early 21st century. Stories of work, enterprise culture & disappearing industry must be preserved @GMLibraries @TamesideLibrary

Still lots of time to see this excellent exhibition from @GeorgeHouseTrst and to tell us your story of HIV - we're still collecting stories from everyone whether you're native Manc or just visiting. Write one of our postcards and post it in the box! @MancLibraries @mcrhistfest
