Exciting times ahead @kings_monkton β€οΈπŸ“šβ€οΈ
Just a girl who loves books, casually sharing the news that I will be Chairing the 90th anniversary of the Carnegie Medals in 2027... Lots to say, but my inability to form sentences at this time speaks volumes. #mindblown @youthlibraries @YLGWales @CILIPInfoPJobs @CILIPinWales

My incredible @kings_monkton team gracing the pages of @youthlibraries #YouthLibraryReview Typical, isn't it? You spend your entire childhood looking for Wally and then six turn up at once! #readingforpleasure #SchoolLibraries #SchoolLibrarians #WorldBookDay

Books for children & young people are the most valuable weapons we have. #KatherineRundell enchants from the first page. She can have you doubled over laughing in one breath and break your heart in the next. Read it; you won't be sorry! #ImpossibleCreatures #readingforpleasure
