Reading for pleasure is all about choice. It's about taking kids seriously as human beings, and respecting their rights. Even if you as an adult can't see why they like something, or want to re-read it - those books could change their lives forever. #literacy Art: Quentin Blake

Now #WorldBookDay is over, don't stop helping kids become readers! Keep books at the heart of everything you do. Show them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, explore the stories & pictures & worlds together - and they will get it! #literacy

You can't measure reading for pleasure. You can't test a child on it. You can't quantify it. Reading for pleasure is THE most important gateway into reading, writing and accessing information but the Government like statistics, so will pursue testable routes instead. *Sigh*

New report from Ofsted on how reading in secondary schools improves grades and confidence: gov.uk/government/pub… An excellent reason for having a #schoollibrarian in your school, one who is qualified in this type of intervention #Chartership

Had a wonderful morning at Meethill Primary School at the grand opening of their school library. The pupils were fantastic, the library looks amazing. Well done to the pupils and staff for all their hard work

❤️What a wonderful story from Jay McGuiness on BBC Breakfast about the power of #libraries. Wrote his whole novel in different libraries and found each one inspired his writing - filled our heart with joy!' #LibraryLover bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Future generations will look back at this period and wonder at the term "community led" libraries. They will wonder how we couldn't see it for what it is - a fig-leaf for the systemic failure to secure quality library services for every member of society.
