In a world where 1 in 15 children aged 8 to 18 do not have a book of their own (@Literacy_Trust, 2022), one of the MANY reasons we need #SchoolLibraries is because they provide children with crucial access to books - for #FREE! 📚
Access to books can shape lives... ✨

Well folks, I didn’t win but I had a great day @CILIPCKG Wonderful to link with Carnegie shadower fans, authors and publishers.
1953 was the last time a northern Irish writer won - CS Lewis. Kinda big shoes to have attempted to follow…
Huge thanks for everyone’s encouragement.

Brilliant to be able to celebrate #CKG22 despite some of the 'lows and woes' chair extraordinaire @JL_Horan7 spoke about so engagingly which have characterised the year. A real treat that 2021 judges were finally able to meet in person too!
