Born #OnThisDay 250 years ago, Jane Austen’s words still meet us where we are: clear-eyed, courageous, and deeply human.
Her stories remind us that agency, integrity, and self-knowledge are not modern ideas, but enduring ones.
Happy 250th birthday, #JaneAusten!

We've lost such a great talent. Alex Wheatle MBE. We love his books, especially Cane Warriors, runner up in our YA cateogry 2021. He had an impact on so many authors helping them to navigate the industry.

These are the three heroes of Cobalt @troikabooks as children. Their games and rivalries form the basis of the adults they become when fighting in WW2.

This is a really useful explainer of what school librarians are *really* doing every day 🤗
So much misunderstanding around what's happening in library lessons, students making a noise and weeding books to name a few!
