When the carpet in my first library took a nightmare saga of another kind: a funny look back at #pikeprimary and my #library. It's FUNNY and 100 percent true!

Welcome news from the lastest research by @Literacy_Trust this morning - but there is still more work to do!
We know that #schoollibraries and #schoollibrarians are a crucial part of embedding reading into children and young people's everyday lives.
#NationalYearofReading
📢Good news! 📢
Our latest research shows a modest upturn in children and young people's reading engagement in 2026.
This is positive, but we must keep going to embed reading into their everyday lives.
Find out more about the work we're doing: literacytrust.org.uk/reading…
ALT Last year, reading enjoyment among children and young people hit a 20-year low. This year, there's an upturn for the first time in five years. Graph compares 2025 (when 32.7% of children enjoyed reading) and 2026 (now at 36.1%).

📚📦 4 down, 46 to go! 📦📚
The first four of my fifty complimentary copies of WARNING: Grandma’s Gone Bonkers are now on their way to:
📚 Carterton Library
📚 Symondsbury Primary School Library
📚 Langney Primary Academy School Library
📚 Tidbury Green School Library
I absolutely love the thought of these books heading off to library shelves where they can hopefully be enjoyed by lots of young readers.
There are still plenty more complimentary copies waiting to be re-homed, and I’ll continue sending out a few at a time until my stock has been exhausted (at which point I’ll probably be exhausted, too 🤣).
If you’re a librarian and haven’t yet seen my original post about the complimentary copies, do check it out.
And if any libraries happen to share a photo when their copy arrives, I’d be delighted to see the books settling into their new homes! ❤️📚
For now, though…
📦 4 down, 46 to go!

School librarians work to champion the diverse literature available both in their collections and otherwise. It’s clear that school librarians value diversity in their collection, but let’s take a closer look at the work they are doing: buff.ly/U1NesXN
