SAVE LAMBETH LIBRARIES - SIGN THIS LETTER IF YOU'RE A BOOK PERSON (AUTHOR, ILLUSTRATOR, PUBLISHER etc). IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT OUR LIBRARIES & LIBRARIANS DO FOR US ALL... forms.gle/M5pRzaaR3gLFb6…

On #worldbookday2025 we must shout out for free access to books. The destruction of public libraries must be stopped. If people can’t afford books and there are no libraries or book stocks then … 🤷

We love that this year @worldbookdayuk is championing children’s reading choices, encouraging everyone to Read Your Way! We couldn't agree more with them that every reader is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy reading 🙌 #WorldBookDay

Happy World Book Day! p.s. two days left to get a print of one of my cartoons: guardianprintshop.com/pages/current-…

Public #Libraries are the very best places to visit if you want to #ReadYourWay. Not only are they palaces of books of all different genres and styles, but all those books are completely free! #WorldBookDay2025

People sometimes say kids don't read any more. But I'm always amazed by the excitement you see on author visits, especially #WorldBookDay. Give kids free choice of what to read, let them follow their excitement wherever it leads - and THEY STILL LOVE BOOKS! (Art: Quentin Blake)

Many youngsters in Birmingham will be denied these life-changing opportunities as Birmingham Labour Group damages the city’s network of community libraries and MPs like Preet Kaur Gill MP stand by. Birmingham Loves Libraries Brum Library Zine SaveHallgreenLibrary

Shame that Birmingham Labour Group are closing libraries, cutting opening hours and harming life chances of our young people Birmingham Loves Libraries Brum Library Zine

APOLOGIES to anyone who bought the i paper today expecting an article about Lambeth's awful £1m library cut. It wasn't there. It's here. It's super. archive.ph/t5PTj

There are many inspirational women across our city. A hack politician presiding over cuts in services to our most vulnerable citizens is not one of them.

More & more libraries having to close due to short-staffing, years ago when there was give in the system this would rarely if ever happen but most services are below minimum staffing levels + lots of staff off sick due to stress & the aftermath of covid. #protectlibraryworkers
