Read our response to the @HoCcommitteesUK Reading for Pleasure report. It’s clear: school and public libraries run by trained library staff are essential to build a reading nation. CILIP is ready to work with Govt to turn these recommendations into action. cilip.org.uk/news/731373/CIL…

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got - if it's not working, change it
I’m looking to collect brilliant advice. No specific topic. Just brilliant top tips I’ll go first: act your shoe size, not your age (in my case, that’s 9 instead of 59!)

Replying to @Literacy_Trust
@Literacy_Trust research suggests a small upturn in reading for pleasure among young people after a 20 year low. But don't be complacent! Keep reading, keep reading, KEEP READING!

First time attending for me. Dame Jacqueline Wilson a highlight and meeting other authors whose books I have on shelves.
Did you make it to the 2026 #SLAconference? We're busy working on a special edition of The School Librarian that will share all the highlights, plus in-depth coverage of the people who made the event so special. If you were there with us, what was your favourite moment? 📚
