A thought for #LibrariesWeek. If we care about the future, we need to make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. They're more vital now than ever. Support them & help them create the readers of the future! (Art: @chrisriddell50)
Thank you so much @vashti_hardy for spending the morning with Years 4, 5 and 6 and inspiring them with your love of adventure, writing, music and pictures and even dressing pupils up as explorers! We have had so much fun #authorvisits #adventures #ChildrensBooks #libraries
Our Prep School pupils are so excited about meeting @vashti_hardy today as our #BookWeek continues. Looking forward to exploring the wonderful worlds of #Brightstorm and #Wildspark. We think adventures await! #skyships #authorvisits #ChildrensBooks #libraries #readingforpleasure
Today is #JuliaDonaldson day and the Pre Prep are enjoying dressing up as their favourite characters @TheRealGruffalo #roomonthebroom and getting stuck into lots of fun story retelling activities in the library #librarylife #picturebook #ChildrensBooks
What a great day we had yesterday with @OnjaliRauf who filled our hearts and minds with stories, and who couldn’t resist having her photo taken with Prep School librarian, Mrs Barrett, and @RealHughJackman #HughJackman #librarylife #ChildrensBooks
Our Prep School pupils have been fascinated to listen to @OnjaliRauf talk about The Boy at the Back of the Class - a poignant tale about a child refugee from Syria #readinglist #librarylife #ChildrensBooks
We are so lucky to be welcoming @OnjaliRauf to Hurst Prep today. Looking forward to hearing all about her award-winning book, The Boy at the Back of the Class🎒a story about friendship, hope and the importance kindness, and her new book out this week, The Star Outside My Window

Libraries are a fun, safe and welcoming space for all walks of life. Libraries mean adventure & knowledge, support & entertainment. What do libraries mean to you? #librariesWeek #library #librarians #libraries

@Hurst_PrepLib Really lovely to meet you all! And very much enjoyed the mob signing in the library afterwards 😉 Thanks for having me
