Stepping away from this platform (which was my first intro to social media in 2014). It brought me many connections & opportunities over the years but it has moved too far away from how it started.

Every single school needs a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay

Every time you encourage a child to read a book, you will change their lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But child by child, book by book, we can change the world. Children who read become adults who think - and will build a world that’s better for EVERYONE. #literacy

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and change our lives FOREVER. So whatever else you do, please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important! #WorldBookDay2025

Well-meaning adults can easily crush a child's enthusiasm for reading by dismissing their choices, saying a book is no good. By all means introduce them to books you think are good - but let them READ FOR PLEASURE & they'll be readers forever! #literacy

If we all do one random (or intentional!) act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction 💕🌍

What a wonderful initiative! Buy any children's book from @bookshop_org_UK this month, and as part of their #ReadItForward campaign, they will donate 10% of every sale to the children's reading charities @Booktrust & @scottishbktrust!

Children's books are not a luxury. Libraries & librarians are not a luxury. The teachers who inspire kids to read are not a luxury. If you cut or undermine or lose these things – #literacy will cease to be a basic human right, and will become a luxury, available only to a few.

Why do books matter? Because books open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented.
