On Monday we discussed as #lablit Mr Einstein's Secretary by @Matthew_Reilly - I [dom] very much enjoyed it - a female protagonist who is a frustrated physicist & witness to major events in the first half of the 20th Century

At our #ReadingRights summit with @frankcottrell_b, @MetroMayorSteve explored the value of libraries and other professionals & organisations coming together to make a difference to families. Find out more about Reading Rights: booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/chi… @CILIPinfo @libsconnected
Children who have been read to from an early age have a significant head start on those who have not. Public #Libraries are ideally placed, through storytimes and rhymetimes, for a major role in @frankcottrell_b and @Booktrust's #ReadingRights campaign. booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/chi…
