Cressida Cowell has called on the UK government to fund primary school libraries so that all children across the country don’t miss out on the opportunity to read for pleasure & all the vital benefits this chance brings.

When I announced @CressidaCowell as the new @UKLaureate back in 2019 I spoke about a little girl whose Mum had built her shelves to house the one book she’d received from @Booktrust. She wants her to have a better future than she’d had. 1/2
They were asylum seekers. She was worried because their local library was closing. She couldn’t afford to buy books for her daughter so her only access to books was the school library. The school library meant this little girl could read for pleasure and a brighter future ❤️
School libraries are the only way many many children can access good quality children books. Research shows that children who read for pleasure have a better chance of being successful in the future. Why should children who can’t afford to buy them be disadvantaged ☹️
