Cutting school #library provision has to be the most idiotic, myopic, damaging thing a policymaker can do. If the first duty of decision-makers is to improve the lives they serve, then denying them the manifold benefit of a school library is a total dereliction of that duty.

A child who starts school with low literacy skills is more likely to become one of the 44% of functionally illiterate adults in Australia. Early intervention works! Adopt & implement the National Early Language & Literacy Strategy Ensure all school libraries have qualified staff

In the words of one Amazon reviewer:
"If all you've read of John Christopher is his work for young adults, you only know half of his brilliance. He was a solid, adventurous and descriptive writer who will always deserve a larger audience than he has."
