Reading for pleasure starts in school libraries. School libraries provide the opportunity of CHOICE for children and young people. School librarians hold the key, we can show kids all the benefits of reading! Great article & links to further information.
Even reading for a short time each day can improve employability, language skills, social skills, and family bonding, as well as reducing stress and anxiety. Find out more about how reading tackles poverty in our research article 👇 https://t.co/nXZEKrpbYp

A beautiful example of how books can make us feel less alone, from bestselling Scottish author @BooksandChokers. ♥️📚 Watch Elle McNicoll's @BBCScotLearn live-recorded Authors Live on BBC iPlayer to hear the author discuss her writing and her latest book, Keedie.

Happy in-service day all! Today's challenge was all about reinstating the library. A lush new carpet was fitted over Summer! How long did I take to clear out a whole library?- 3 days. How long to reinsate it back? Hopefully before Wednesday haha 🤣💪 Here's behind the scenes
