This is extremely serious - @CILIPinfo will be liaising with Education leaders and sector bodies to raise our strongest objections to this abhorrent abuse of power. This is a line that democracies should never cross. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Libraries are the best. 😍 Always working in the interests of society. Pls read this lovely thread.
A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6
