I have managed the libraries at HMP Wandsworth since December201 5. We have seen many changes within that time span but every day is differ ent. We get to make a real difference to the men we serve and believe that what we offer is as close to a borough library as possible given the obvi ous constraints. Recently I have set up a mental health and wellbeing sect ion with the libraries along side Health England and this has been rolled out to every prison library in the country. I am on the CILIP prison libra ry committee and enjoyed organising the recent training day – it was goo d to get back to face to face. We are now working on our advocacy document to continue to raise the profile of the library service within the prison service. When I am not working\, I enjoy all the usual things including r eading\, theatre\, gardening\, walking the dog and socialising.\n\n \; \n\nDr Morwenna Bennallick is a senior lecturer at the University of Westm inster.
