Every word of this by @lib_thinks 💯

Happy @WorldBookDayUK! 📚 Today we celebrate the joy of reading for children, and the lifelong love of books it can inspire. As part of the #NationalYearofReading2026 we’re championing readers of every age. Join us on 23 April for @WorldBookNight as we celebrate adult reading.

Happy #WorldBookDay to all the school librarians, publishers, authors and charity partners who we have the privilege of working with every day. Read our appreciation of the school staff who make the magic happen, ft Julie Broadbent in @theweekjunior! bit.ly/4s8MRWt 📚
