Fascinating day at #LeedsCentralLibrary hearing from Chinese Library leaders about the importance of public libraries for reading, information, knowledge, health & wellbeing in China. In China citizens should only ever be 10-15 minutes walk from a reading space @LKN_Libraries

[Tabitha Witherick is no longer here @TabisW]
