⚠️Reading enjoyment has fallen across all ages.⚠️
The sharpest decline is among pupils aged 11-14 - from 40.4% in 2023 to 30.7% in 2024. As children transition to secondary school, their reading engagement dips - a trend that is worsening.

One of my favourite quotes in Tim’s new book 🎈
“Life will sometimes seem long and tough and, God, it’s tiring. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you’ll be old. And then you’ll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is: fill it.”

An inspiring afternoon with the incredible @timminchin talking about his book, the power of stories, the arts + libraries to allow people to be free to explore their thoughts. He ended with this marvellous call to action ‘do good… be a f*%#ing Librarian!’📚❤️
Big plot twist this week.
I read A Court of Thorns and Roses and really enjoyed it! On to the next….
😁🧁
And the Winner of the Guerrilla Award is @abatha for a stand-out focused campaign that made a small budget go very far indeed.
