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!

Old books are better because they sprung from a culture where reading, not watching, was the predominant mode of leisure. That not only meant authors were well-read and thus better writers, but that their readership was well-read too, so authors could expect more of them

Look, people probably wouldn't be trying to curtail libraries' activities and cut their funding if libraries didn't engage in problematic behaviors like "having information" and "helping people."

Hi @RhonddaBryant I know I’ve asked before but will you now meet with unions & campaigners to discuss the crisis in the Public Libraries sector?
I’d be happy to set it up, your office has my contact details.
