Last week in NYC, I noticed the magazine rack in my usual supermarket was no longer packed with celebrity and recipe magazines. Instead it looked like this. That inspired this week’s column Yes, I’m easily distracted. No, I don’t have ADHD thetimes.com/article/6578b4e…

So good to hear @frankcottrell_b #R4Today : the importance of reading to a child ā€œthe electronics of love and relaxationā€ to health and belonhing in later life.
"I've always wanted somebody to ask me that." Our #R4Today guest editor @frankcottrell_b, the Waterstones Children's Laureate, is already in the studio. He is looking at rethinking our approach to reading - and interviews Dolly Parton no less. Tap below to listen ā¬‡ļø

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end šŸŽ¶)

The role of libraries is so important to communities- growth, interests, careers, culture. #r4today #libraries As Lee Child commented on losing our libraries: it would be ā€œamputating a huge future for a lot of peopleā€
#r4today Powerful advocacy for libraries from Lee Child, whose fascination with books & writing was sparked by Perry Barr library. No one in local govt, either cllrs or officers, wants to consider closing libraries: it's a desperate measure necessary after 14 years of Tory cuts.
