We writers & illustrators do our best to work some kind of magic on the page. But I think the REAL magic happens when adults read aloud to kids, and bring our stories to life for them. That's the kind of magic that changes lives forever! #literacy

There’s lots of talk about ‘warm banks’ for folks who can’t afford to turn the heating on but with many/most councils already in serious financial difficulties how will they afford to heat & run public buildings such as libraries come October?

Library reflection: I don't pay taxes just so my library can give me books.
I support libraries to live in a society where EVERYONE has access to books and information with safe places to read them.

Spent part of yesterday writing a statement on behalf of a colleague confirming @CILIPinfo policy in support of #DQST events in #libraries and providing assurance that these events are compatible with the Ethical Principles of libraries. Happy to do it, but sorry to have to.
