It's #LibrariesWeek, celebrating how #LibrariesChangeLives!

⭐ We'd like to thank all the librarians working in communities & schools to make a difference to children and families every day.

Stella Hine, librarian and Carnegie Medals Chair of Judges, sums this up perfectly:

Their work matters deeply – one book, one moment, one reader at a time."
