Happy Shropshire librarian.

This poem always in my head at this point in my walk -

The honor
of being human
will stay constant.

The earth, earth,
water wet, sun
shine...

PSA: If you live in the UK you can get a library card with which you can get a PressReader account that gives you free access to all national and many international newspapers, magazines, and so on. Many people have totally given up on the mainstream news, understandably, but it’s good to check in once in a while and there’s no need to pay because you already did through taxes. In short, join your library and use it because libraries are awesome.

V personal thread with a public punch line

A few days ago my sister was at the curfew tower in Cushendall.  She met a man from Liverpool.  They got talking and he realised he knew our Mum.  More importantly that HIS mum knew our mum …..

@jimalkhalili Interesting insights.

200 nationalities, one NHS.

Huge thanks to everyone who has dedicated their lives to caring for others.

England haven’t been convincing so far, but without players born outside the UK or with at least 1 parent or grandparent born abroad, we wouldn’t still be here. And today, we’d be down to just 3 players.

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate @frankcottrell_b praises the health visitors, librarians, early education workforce and other unsung heroes getting families reading.

But he says they are working with too little and a massive national investment into children's reading is needed.

[Heather Rodenhurst @shropsforever]

@frankcottrell_b Congratulations, Children's Laureate! At long flippin last 😁 You're going to ace it 😚 #childrenslaureate #Booktrust

Sally's beautiful silhouette artwork will make this booklet about #Ellesmere's Eglantyne Jebb - founder of @savechildrenuk - something very special indeed. Looking forward to seeing the end result ☺️ #shropshire #EglantyneJebb

@ShropLibraries @readingagency @WomensPrize The Kate Grenville and Kate Foster titles but don't rate either for the prize - look forward to borrowing/reading shortlist contenders 😊

Every year, I publish a State of Culture report. This year something disturbing is happening.

I used to worry about the trade-off between art and entertainment—but now a third option threatens to overwhelm both.

[Heather Rodenhurst @shropsforever]

@VmCaroline @BBCShropshire Thankfully not! But long enough to have to call and cancel my shared reading group meeting at Severn Hospice 😑

[Heather Rodenhurst @shropsforever]

Yes, pretty much parked up for the duration this morning here between Dobbie's island and Edgebold roundabout on #A5. Westbound traffic absolutely stationary. Avoid! #shrewsbury #shropshire @BBCShropshire

[Shropshire Star @ShropshireStar]

Beware of long queues on one of the busiest roads in the county.
