Recent Feedback

The Manager at Coalville Library borrowed the "What a Waste" display to link in with National Science Week. She felt that members of the public responded very positively to the display and gained "valuable knowledge about waste and recycling". The display in her opinion, actually "encouraged people to recycle" which may inspire a change in the way that people manage their lives.

'Centre 88' provides educational and social opportunities for people with physical and/or learning disabilities. Audrey is a tutor for adults with learning disabilities studying for OCN qualifications. She commented that the display "was particularly useful for the after school club as older children looked up information about the display to read to younger ones". Overall the display generated interest, provided an opportunity for individuals to share their knowledge and proved to be "a very good talking point".
