Another hilarious addition to the well-loved series of school-based adventures by Pamela Butchart Lizzy & her friends are convinced there's a thief on the school trip, stealing snacks. Fast-paced, witty dialogue, laugh-out-loud humour make this a perfect book for young readers.

I'm really excited to be going on this - it's a late (last year's!) birthday present from my husband - and am looking forward to getting to grips with both my camera and landscape photography. Gary's photos on here were the catalyst for me investigating his photography workshops!

This Wendy Cope poem is new to me. It’s quietly magnificent. (Via Joseph Fasano):

A quirky story that explores the themes of individuality & being yourself through the adventures of Theo & his unique dog, Geoff. A reminder that you don't have to fit into a mould to be happy or accepted. #picturebook Nosy Crow Books Ged Adamson

Every time I see this next to a range of cakes, I always think ... oh good, they'll have something gluten-free. But invariably the answer is no. Don't know why they bother with a sign when they don't cater for a common allergy/intolerance!

Every day, a small town is uplifted by an enchanting song. When it stops, the community work together to discover why. An uplifting & beautifully illustrated story about the power of music to forge bonds & create empathy. #picturebook #music Bloomsbury Kids & YA UK

Really excited to share that I have been working with Aberystwyth University & have rewritten their School Libraries and Learning Resources module. Now live, available as an option on both under- & post-grad degrees as well as a standalone course #schoollibraries #cpd aber.ac.uk/en/dis/courses…

New BBC analysis: - over 180 public libraries closed since 2016 - deprived communities x4 likely to lose their library - 2,000 jobs lost - 1/20 libraries lost in that period - 1/3 of remainder with reduced hours What will this govt do? CILIP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Also sad to see that 950 of the libraries left (one in three) have reduced their opening hours, with at least three councils halving local provision. You have to assume that's driven by funding pressure, not user need, or long-term ambition
