@CarolStump1 @librareon @KirkleesLibrary I’m an unqualified librarian but still think it’s a bad take but then again I think giving ACE the developmental remit was an even worse one 🤷♀️
Did you know that the Government has never taxed printed books to protect access to learning but adds a 20% tax on eBooks and audiobooks. This makes no sense. It is time to #AxetheReadingTax on digital books. Click the link to write to your MP at axethereadingtax.org/get-involved

UNISON members working in public library services 👋 We're still looking for stories to help us raise awareness of violence, harassment or abuse while doing your job 🙅♀️ If you want to help, please email [email protected] Anonymity can be assured 🗣
@Hohojanna Yep and it’s been getting worse due to cuts, short/lone staffing etc and of course shite management 🙄
@DrFrancesRyan @Melzi_J Thank goodness for campaigners like @Hohojanna who succeeded in keeping libraries in the most deprived parts of Gloucestershire open, or this figure would be even higher.
In which the organisation representing Chief Librarians adopts a positive narrative re data that shows nearly 800 libraries have closed, where’s the condemnation, where’s the outrage 🙄🤷♀️

@thebookseller @thatbenholden Hi Ben will you be interviewing any library campaigners for your podcast?
Keep them as they are? What? Our libraries in Bristol have had their funding halved, average cost of book reduced, no. of staff decreased, self-service points increased, and opening hours reduced. We need the *basics* first not 'evolution'. We need staffed open libraries.

Some of the rockets/spaceships the Hesters Way Library Knit+Natter group did for the children #SummerReadingChallenge. They knitted over 100 rockets that have been given to all the children finishing the Challenge! These were a great hit with the children and parents! ❤️
