Reviving the Past to Inform the Future with the Nottingham Local Studies Library and Collaboratory
 Nottingham Local Studies Library are supporting an engaging and important research opportunity into the political literacy of young people of today.
This project will aim, through research, to expand young people’s engagement with politics and democracy, and empower them with the tools to navigate and influence political processes.
Applications for this opportunity close on Sunday 30 November.
Try something different with our free online jigsaw puzzles, inspired by the collections held in the Local Studies Library.
 Our latest jigsaw features the Nottingham and Beeston canal, and can be found by clicking on the link below.
We upload a new puzzle regularly, so snuggle up and enjoy some quiet time!
