So many libraries have closed. It makes me sad we cannot be there for children and others when they need us most. Time for that to change

[The Sad Library @TheSadLibrary]

Are those the bookshelves with all the facts locked in them? Someone had better give the PM the key so he can't ignore them. 😶

I think I’ve got the dream teaching job for this half term in my school. I get to cover every class for one day. BUT I can talk to them just about BOOKS! No writing or marking, pure discussion about what they like and dislike. I want generate some real passion for reading! ❤️

@LibrarianLupine I believe that sign originally pointed to the real Fowey library which, sadly, has now permanently closed. 😥

@JamieRh02395938 When it comes to economic value of libraries, it's probably best not to rely on a single source. This seems a useful summary of various research on the topic. https://t.co/n3RikX7BRJ

This public LEGO building expo at the Tate Modern in London. Everyone is free to take part and build using only white pieces. It’s like an improvised micro city.
