Job perk of being a librarian: loaning a kid a book that has a great twist in it, and waiting and waiting for them to reach it, and then one day they come in and you see in their eyes that they HAVE and then you both gush and giggle and do excited hand gestures for ages 🙂

School librarians are not in the business of harming children. Almost four years on from my own experience with this issue it is infuriating that UK librarians are having to defend the rights of young people to read freely. Our profession is vulnerable & so are our readers.

A shocking new investigation by Index reveals that Emily (not her real name), a school librarian in Greater Manchester, faced disciplinary action after stocking the book Men Who Hate Women. Nearly 200 books were targeted. 1/4

Not quite sure what to say about this - @educationscot (responsible for designing & improving the curriculum) are basically saying we don't need authors or illustrators to write stories. Use AI to do it! What an example to give to children.

Simply describe the storybook you want (e.g. “Create a storybook for a 5 year old explaining people in our community who help us”) and Gemini will create a unique 10-page illustrated storybook complete with custom audio narration!👇#NationalStorytellingWeek

So all the millions who've sat reading 'Dear Zoo' and 'The Gruffalo' with their pre-readers don't realise that their pre-schoolers should really be waiting till they're taught how to read before they 'appreciate' the books. Lols.
Tom Bennett OBE@tombennett71

Teaching reading for pleasure is like teaching driving for pleasure. If you can’t drive, it’s no fun at all. Function precedes appreciation, and competence precedes confidence.

Fantastic to see £12.5m from HMG to NLT & schools for library spaces, James Bowen of NAHT & Caroline Roche of CILIP School Libraries Group are right though, to have a larger & lasting impact it must also come with investment in staff tes.com/magazine/news/…

School staff shouldn't have to scrabble around or spend their own money to get hold of new books and reading material for children. Dedicated money needs to be set aside by the government, just like it is for the PE and sport premium. It matters far too much to be left to chance.

Everybody has a right to make their own mind up, informed by a range of good information - that's power. It's also a fundamental issue for our profession. Yet is under attack. CILIP members & non-members can join this new #IntellectualFreedom Committee cilip.org.uk/news/713670/Be…

For a summary of some of what CILIP's done to advocate for school librarians since the General Election last year, see the latest CILIP School Libraries Group journal cilip.org.uk/page/school-li… Lots more still to do together...
