"If ever you’re in need as I was
may you have an island of strangers
like I had."

No child should have to grow up in a world without libraries. Attack libraries, and you attack children themselves. #SaveLibraries

(Cartoon by Charles M Schulz)

Today, @fightingdirty.bsky.social launches our legal case to stop the export of millions of UK tyres to unregulated Indian pyrolysis plants, causing massive pollution & suffering. Help us stop it by supporting our campaign stop-uk-tyre-exports.raiselysite.com Thank you 🙏❤️🌍

Libraries matter now more than ever before. They embody the beautiful & brilliant idea that books are for EVERYONE; that knowledge belongs to everyone equally, regardless of wealth. We must never, ever stop defending our libraries from such attacks! #SaveLibraries

"A policy change would be the ideal, a slight culture shift to turn the dial on reading away from the emphasis on attainment and cultural capital towards health and mental health for both the child and its carer" Frank Cottrell-Boyce www.thebookseller.com/author-inter...

Were your ancestors prisoners in a concentration camp? April 4 marks 80 years since the liberation of Buchenwald’s sub-camp Ohrdruf. We are looking for families of the 20,000 former prisoners to commemorate the anniversary. Contact us in the comments or via DM arolsen-archives.org/events/geden...

🙌!! Thanks so much for coming … and buying books 👊

Authors, poets, illustrators and storytellers are happy to visit schools at any time of the year, not just on World Book Day (which is often fully booked months in advance). Celebrate reading on WBD and then arrange an author visit a few weeks later to build on it.

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness.

"Shared reading is a public health intervention that should be available to all children."

We loved hosting the #ReadingRights summit with Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social this month.

Here's what happened - and what's next 👇

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten.
The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning.
#NeverForget
#NeverAgain

Bogdan Bartnikowski was 12 when he started acting as a courier in the Warsaw Uprising – but then the Nazis deported him to Auschwitz. Take part in the #everynamecounts challenge on and around #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Help remember victims and survivors: everynamecounts.arolsen-archives.org/en/
