@The_Oodie I ordered an oodie and a dressing gown as Christmas presents for my kids but only the dressing gown arrived- I discovered this on Christmas eve as I was wrapping. You haven't replied to my email. Please can you respond to me?

@TheLastLeg Loving the show, but why are you still on twitter? Time to move on!

[Great School Libraries @GreatSchLibs]

This has been reshared a lot recently. Many #schoollibrarians are sharing stats which show that reading in their schools is not in decline-quite the reverse. The evidence is clear: having a librarian in school can build and embed a reading culture. Follow us to find out more.

Fuel duty staying frozen and discounted for another year, at 10 x what it would have cost to keep the £2 bus fare cap.

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

We talked to MPs, Lords, and each other about how #LibrariesChangeLives 😌
