A thought for #LibrariesWeek. If we care about the future, we need to make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. They're more vital now than ever. Support them & help them create the readers of the future!

What a great day we had yesterday with @OnjaliRauf who filled our hearts and minds with stories, and who couldn’t resist having her photo taken with Prep School librarian, Mrs Barrett, and @RealHughJackman #HughJackman #librarylife #ChildrensBooks

It's time to break the stigma around Mental Health Issues, so today we're celebrating #WorldMentalHealthDay in the library! Did you know reading has been proven to decrease stress & decrease symptoms of some mental health issues? #MentalHealthAwarenessDay
Never underestimate the power of a good book 📚! #WednesdayWisdom #LoveYourLibrary
Why read books? Because books are the most amazing storytelling technology - all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION!

Really lovely to meet you all! And very much enjoyed the mob signing in the library afterwards 😉 Thanks for having me
We’ve all been whisked away by @moontrug this morning to the ‘wonderful blizzard of a tale’ that is #SkySong and the snowy world of Erkenwald ❄️. The pupils loved you Abi. Thank you for visiting Hurst.
