<p>Merton Libraries are for everyone. There is so much to see and do in our libraries, they are a colourful hive of activity, buzzing with people of all ages and backgrounds. Each day is different, but what stays the same is what they offer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Libraries are not only a gateway to knowledge and culture, but they create opportunities for learning, literacy and creativity. Our Libraries offer people resources they often do not have in their own home - endless books, free activities and events, technology and ways to support their health and well-being. We hope this short film shares with you just some of what our libraries can offer you, or even someone you know.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everyone in this film is a real-life service user. Come and see for yourself how amazing our libraries are, sign up for a library card today and discover our libraries for yourself!</p>

Dr Morley is about to embark on a quest to the northernmost tip of the world, to discover a creature that everyone talks about but nobody has ever seen: the giant Arctic jellyfish. After years of research and hard graft, she gathers together a highly trained crew and a boat full of specialist equipment, and sets sail for the vast icy scapes of the Arctic. Will she find what she is searching for? Or will it find her?
