Came across this today, so I figured I'd post it. That time Children's Books Ireland commissioned illustrators across Ireland to paint bookshop windows, and I did the ones for Antonia's Bookstore in Trim, Co. Meath.

National Literacy Trust: We want libraries in every primary school!

Chancellor: absolutely! 🎉

School Children: We want librarians so we can actually get to the book so the library does not end up being locked all the time!

Chancellor: Go back to studying! ✏️

The Anakin and Padme meme with alternating pics of Anakin and Padme. Anakin says We pledge a library in every primary school. Padme replies, cheerfully, With a librarian, right? Anakin merely stares at her. Now, with a look of fear, she repeats, With a librarian, right?

Without trained staff to curate and maintain it, and engage the kids with what's there, most importantly of all, it's just a load of shelves with books on them.

Also no surprise the % of primaries with no provision atm is worse in deprived areas, esp in the north 👀👀👀👀

We had an entire school library that I didn't see until the week I left school, because we didn't have a librarian so it was kept locked. I finally saw it because they made us move all the books to a new annex.
