It was such an honour to be awarded an honorary fellowship of @cilip.bsky.social . Julie Bell has been a true mentor to me, so to be awarded together was very special.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

Staffer duties complete (for now) settling into the plenary at #GreenLibraries hard to summarise the HUGE topics being covered today. The most important of agendas. But when things feel huge, a shared framework can offer structure and a way. Talking through the GL Self-Assessment framework. ..

Despite the wonky horizon, this is the best photo I've ever taken. I love the vanishing point into the mist as the sun was burning through. It's the underside of the Humber Bridge in Hull and is a common pic that has been taken many times by locals but the weather that day was perfect for my pic.
