Great article Alex 👏
Igniting Writing got a nice feature on the @WBC_Libraries blog recently. Have a read here: wokinghamboroughlibraries.wo… It covers some Wokingham Library volunteers sharing why they give up their time for the local community (and has the background on how Igniting Writing was set up)!
