BBC Breathing Places

Breathing Places allows everyone do something small (or big) to make a difference in their back yard or to their whole community. Run by the BBC it has lots of ideas for how everyone can do something practical to support their local wildlife. It really doesn't matter if you live in the middle of the countryside or the middle of the town.

Libraries have been essential to the Breathing Places campaign since it was launched. BBC programmes, such as Springwatch and Autumnwatch, tell people to visit their local library for more information.

And this, in case you were wondering, is where we come in. We provide the link between Breathing Places and libraries. We work with the BBC to produce resources that allow libraries to support Breathing Places.

Discover Nature is the current Breathing Places campaign. You can order the promotional materials by downloading the order form from Resources where you will also find the booklist.

If you do get involved with Breathing Places then you will be joining hundreds of other libraries. Ninety four per cent of libraries have signed up to previous promotions and the stickers, bookmarks, posters and booklets have all been very popular. Staff like it too. And it has helped libraries to make good connections with other organisations. You can download the full evaluation powerpoint presentation of Breathing Places from Resources.
