[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Most of life occurs in those ten-minute stretches where nothing seems to be happening. You’d be shocked at how much reading you can get done while you’re standing in line or riding the subway. There’s no such thing as “performative reading” when we are in a literacy crisis.

The floor plan for my dream house:

[Into The Forest Dark @ElliottBlackwe3]

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
― Joseph Campbell, born #OTD in 1904

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Nothing is much better than a cup of hot coffee or tea on a cold night, and an entertaining novel to read.

Rainy days are just the universe saying: cancel plans, grab a blanket, and read books.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

People say there’s no magic in books but the fact that you can string words together to create a series of visions in someone else’s brain is still our greatest achievement as a species.

[Will Dean @willrdean]

@SoledadFrancis I grew up in a house with no books (and no readers), in a town with no bookshop. I read voraciously. Thank goodness for good librarians and teachers. I wouldn’t be a reader (or an author) today without them.

Come see us at St Giles church today for free books and to talk about free bookcases in town 💜📚💜

Our new Poetry Corner is already a hit! 📚

It’s wonderful to see children choosing to spend time there, reading and enjoying books together, with Mr O’Toole joining them to share a few poems. ✨🌿

Want to hear something upbeat? For the last 9 years I’ve done book tours & noticed (in trains, airports, planes, cafes) fewer & fewer people reading. UNTIL NOW. On my recent tour I saw so many more people reading books. They’ve had enough of their phones? The tide may be turning.
