I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

The Libraries for Primaries campaign has recorded its 1,000th opening, with organisers targeting 2028 to reach the remaining 1,900 primary schools in Britain that have no library or dedicated reading space 👇

One thousand libraries down, 1,900 to go as the Libraries for Primaries campaign looks to kick for the finish line in its goal to launch reading for pleasure spaces in every school in the UK.

📢 BIG PROJECT CLAXON! 📢 VF is looking for a big space for the whole of Aug and into Sep 2025 in Edinburgh - as central as possible. A warehouse space would be perfect: 19m x 14m, and a height clearance of 5m. Anyone got one of those lying around? 📨laura@visiblefictions.co.uk

Delighted to have once again been able to programme @WigtownBookFest’s @ReadMagicFest event. It’s been a total joy to see this festival develop over the past few years. Thanks to @woollensocks and @HarrietDunlea for putting together such a fun event.
Can't recommend Reading is Magic enough for teachers, parents and anyone with an interest in children's literature. Online events with an incredible line-up of authors and storytellers - and all for free.
