A huge thank you to @lemnsissay, @NLNZ, @Lucy_Worsley, @bettanyhughes, @librarycongress and everyone who has wished us a Happy 50th Birthday! 🥳

50 years of imagination, inspiring ideas and new discoveries – looking back over the past half a century, none of this would be possible without our friends and partnerships with libraries all over the world. We cannot wait to work together for the next 50 years...
