Today, CILIP co-hosts a Parliamentary reception celebrating the positive impact of how #LibrariesChangeLives by Creating Opportunities. Thanks to Laurence Turner MP & 11 library sector organisations, the event connects policymakers & the library sector. https://t.co/aM8W3Mittb

[Annie Everall OBE @Read4eva]

Exciting day today. I’m heading to the #LibrariesChangeLives parliamentary reception at House of Commons with @CILIPSLG & @ASCELUK friends to share our belief and joy in the power of libraries. Will also be chatting with @JoshNewburyMP who is also attending the event.

[CILIP @CILIPinfo]

And we’re off! Our Parliamentary reception is already buzzing celebrating the positive impact of how #LibrariesChangeLives. Two of our brilliant speakers are already here. Looking forward to an afternoon of supporting libraries, reading, learning and skills development.

[CILIP @CILIPinfo]

He set up his own library as a child, so @mrjohnofarrell shares a lifelong love of libraries and books. He calls libraries “the silent engines of social mobility”. #LibrariesChangeLives

[CILIP @CILIPinfo]

Hearing from @FloEshalomi MP who says she wouldn’t have passed her GCSES without access to the library. And now as a parent how important they continue to be. And a shout out to librarians as a first point of access to the service. #LibrariesChangeLives

[Bobby Seagull MBE @Bobby_Seagull]

Have libraries changed your life?

I'm speaking this afternoon @houseofcommons reception on how libraries changed my life. As a child, I visited my local East Ham Library every Saturday with my Dad & bros.

As UK Libraries Champion @CILIPinfo (2019-21) & ambassador for @readingagency, I will keep shouting on the roof tops about libraries 🗣️

From supporting learning at all ages, to improving digital literacy for the most vulnerable, to equipping people with the skills they need to thrive in the modern economy, libraries are truly engines of social mobility #LibrariesChangeLives

What a great afternoon celebrating that Libraries contribute significantly to educational outcomes by providing access to books, digital resources, and community programmes that support lifelong learning. #LibrariesChangeLives
Thanks to all our partners.
