1 in 7 UK primary schools has no library. Libraries for Primaries is tackling this with a fully funded package for eligible schools. 500 books, furniture, training, author visits — all free. Apply now for 2026/27. 🔗 librariesforprimaries.org.uk…

Text reads: “Transform your school’s reading spaces for free.” The design highlights three free offerings with check marks: free books, free library furniture pack, and free teacher training. Background uses coral pink on the left and light purple on the right with dark blue text and lime green accents.

Princess Pete is a gorgeous, joyful, LGBTQIA positive picture book which celebrates a child’s right to self expression. Beautiful bright illustrations and an excellent message put across in such a fun way, I love it 🥰 @walkerpicbooks
