It's #ChristmasJumperDay here in the Spielman Library, and we're feeling particularly festive with this Harry Potter inspired jumper. We wonder what other great bookish Christmas jumpers are out there...? #ChristmasJumper #WeLoveBooks

Today we're getting our #ThursdayThoughts from the magnificent Robert C O'Brien, who was born #OnThisDay in 1918! (FYI, Z For Zachariah is one of our absolute favourites.)
Our display is generating a lot of interest - not all about the books though - a snowflake making masterclass has been requested!
Fascinating research from @IOE_London today - teenagers who read for pleasure every day knew 26% more words than those who didn't, and teens from book-loving homes knew 42% more words than those who grew up with few books. That's why giving EVERY child access to books is vital!
