1 in 5 children do not have a book of their own at home (National Literacy Trust, 2023). Next month I am running 100km to raise funds for @LibrariesUnLtd to help address the literacy crisis. #readingtogether #readingforpleasure #costofliteracycrisis shorturl.gg/Nx6

We love knowing what our customers are reading. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Big Shot was the most borrowed children's book by our readers in Devon in 2023. What was yours - @LibraryCornwall @gloslibs @bristollibrary @swrlscoord @bnes_libraries?
