Join Sharon Wright on Facebook as she talks to us about her book The Mother of The Brontës - when Maria met Patrick.

Who was the mother of all Brontës? Maria gave birth to the most gifted literary siblings the world has ever known – then vanished from history for 200 years. Sharon wrote this, her first biography to rescue this remarkable woman from the shadow of her brilliant children.

Sharon will be available on Facebook on Saturday to answer questions in the comments section.

Health Information Week is a national, multi-sector campaign promoting high-quality information for patients and the public. High quality health information can have a huge impact on people’s ability to stay healthy and manage illnesses effectively, giving them a better quality of life. We all need information that we can trust, particularly in this time of coronavirus. We also need to look after our wellbeing, whether our mental health or our physical health. In response to these needs, the Health Information Week 2020 will be focused on the themes of Finding information you can trust and Wellbeing.

Health Education England have collated information and resources on COVID-19 from trusted sources which includes information tailored for children and young people, older people and people who prefer to use accessible formats. https://library.nhs.uk/coronavirus-resources/ 

We all need information that we can trust, particularly during COVID19. The Reading Agency have created a blog about ReadingWell and the public library health offer for #HealthInformationWeek
