@CatHobbs What is the current situation with school libraries are they a thing of the past or is it a case of no demand, no money?

@CatHobbs We need a fairer, more just society. While families are working all hours to pay for energy, rent/mortgage, food, there is little room for being with their children, let alone relaxing and reading to them. Tackle this wealth/poverty divide - and bring back libraries.
