Decades of research suggests that reading for pleasure is a key indicator of future success. How can a child become a reader for pleasure if their parents or carers cannot afford books, their primary school has no library, or that library is insufficient? #lifechanginglibraries

I am writing, with the support of former Laureates, literacy organisations, and publishing industry leaders, to ask the Government to help reverse the spiralling inequality in education. Put simply, libraries change lives. Literacy changes lives. #lifechanginglibraries
