We need it to view our online payslips so I know mine

Got the email at school today to say that we'll be part of the @royalsociety.org Young People’s Book Prize #YoungSciBooks judging process again this year, hooray!

CILIP & 6 partners wrote @ Chancellor welcoming £10m investment in school libraries & offering support from our expert members to max long-term impact, & outlined how support for school/public librarians, & School Library Services could do even more for kids e.g. www.greatschoollibraries.org.uk

Last year's @theclpe.bsky.social Reflecting Realities report (hopefully there's another coming soon) also showed a massive downtick in publishing books with "diverse" characters. I'd been suspecting it from what I was being sent (+ so often the creators of colour were American). It is so frustrating

It is Anna McQuinn, sadly I don't think she's on here (though as much as I love her books, again, a white author).

How about the winners of The Diverse Book Awards, announced last night! #TheDBAwards

I always read this to classes in Pride month, a gorgeous book!

#Competition Time. Win a signed copy of my new Picture book ‘My Friend Billy Whiskers’. All you have to do is Like, Repost and Follow me to be in with a chance. I’ll pick at random a winner on Monday 6th October. Good Luck all 🤞🦁👦🏻

Mine are to the ceiling with cupboards at the bottom, but actually don't love them as much as I should because the company that made them pretended to listen to my requirements but then just installed their standard spaced shelving. They're pretty but not what I asked for, & I curse my politeness!

😅 That's why, apart from some built in ones, we're a Billy household

I love that bookcase!

What day is it?

In recent years I haven't read a Barrington Stoke that wasn't simply a brilliant short story in an accessible format, perfect for sharing with classes!

It was my choice too! 😊

Today is National Poetry Day in the UK, with the theme of Play. @poetrydayuk.bsky.social had great poems with resources that I shared with teachers to use in class, but in the library I've been reading People Need People by Benjamin Zephaniah (illustrated by Nila Aye). Also a nod to #BHM! #KidLitUK

🥳🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉🥳

Sure, but, I mean, my first choice is a staffed library, classroom corners are just "better than nothing".
