Tomorrow, a child will go into a #library. And they'll discover a book which helps them to understand what life is like for other people. And they'll grow up with that understanding, and be kinder as a result. I hope one day they might become Prime Minister.

These resignations are all well and good, but I'm waiting for a major article on libraries to come out in a national political magazine and it's been bumped *yet again* due to goings-on in Whitehall. Could everyone calm down long enough for me to do some decent advocacy?

Local libraries are closing, or have reduced hours. Schools are losing libraries, librarians, & book budgets. 2, kidlit focused, book prizes have recently been axed. Supermarkets stock mainly celeb authors & film/tv related titles.

HOW will kids discover all the brilliant books?
