"They are about opportunity, about discovery, about being in a place where a new thought is always possible." .Great opinion piece by @PauldMcNamee on library closures.

Libraries are not just about books. They are about opportunity and discovery, about being in a place where new thoughts are always possible.

A lovely video about the importance of children having free access to books. Also, wonderful to see my storytime partner of old in the background, giving it the full beans 😀.
We loved hearing from this mum in Cambridge about why she loves sharing her #Bookstart Toddler pack with her son - and why it's so important to get reading together 💕
