Public #Libraries are running lots of informative, entertaining events to mark #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek. Why not pop in to your local #Library and see what is going on - or borrow something from their #ReadingWell collection?

[ASCEL @ASCELUK]

It's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek Libraries have the widest range of books to support and spark discussion. Look for the #ReadingWell for children curated booklist for information, stories and advice to support children’s mental health and wellbeing https://t.co/gJohmNFKIC

@nicolamorgan Thank you!

[Nicola Morgan @nicolamorgan]

Looking forward to recording and sharing my session on Taming the Anxiety Guard Dog that technology prevented me from delivering online for #ASCELWOW24. This will be even better because loads more people can see it! On my Substack end of next week.

[Manon Steffan Ros @ManonSteffanRos]

It was an absolute honour to speak at #ASCELWOW24 today. Lovely people and such a warm audience. Plus... I met @BerlieDoherty !!! I'm thrilled to share that she's just as engaging and kind as her novels would lead you to believe. I'm delighted.

[Lucy Carlton-Walker @LibrariesLucy]

Books, reading & young people with @ManonSteffanRos at @ASCELUK:

Power of translation, poetry is in our everyday language.

Reader finding something in the writing & writer returning something that is lost.

Books are a mirror, you feed into what you are reading.

#ASCELWOW24

[ASCEL @ASCELUK]

The wonderful @ManonSteffanRos brings our conference to an end. Talking of how and why she writes.

[Cat Barlow @cat_barlow]

I’m very excited to be hearing from this afternoon’s author panel about diversity & writing for YA at #ASCELWOW24, not least because one of the authors is @BerlieDoherty whose book ‘The Sailing Ship Tree’ was the first YA book I was given to read by my librarian mum age 11 ❤️

[ASCEL @ASCELUK]

@BoromiHQ Was great to meet you too, so much interest in your play bags.

[Lucy Carlton-Walker @LibrariesLucy]
