If you take away the librarian, you don’t have a library. Please sign and share to save Glasgow’s school librarians. www.change.org/p/save-our-s...

READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children’s life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. Never stop sharing books, talking about books, celebrating books & reading. It will change their lives! #literacy

The ‘Seeds of Resistance’ reading group at the Rumpus Room sounds perfect for our Holyrood Seniors. Fri evenings, starting 25th July. For more info and to sign up, contact [email protected] 📚

I like the idea of a year that prioritises reading. Let’s make 2026 the year we reopen closed libraries, open new ones and reverse the loss of school librarians.

A great prize - always wanted to start a Book Club for young people and dads/carers. These would be ideal 🤞📚

#GlasgowZineFest starts tmrw 😄💖 Great line-up of events⬇️ Tramway is beautiful, handy for Southside Glasgow. I’ll be going! issuu.com/glasgowzinel...

BREAKING on @heraldscotland.bsky.social Glasgow schools face losing their librarians as part of council cuts aimed at saving £100k. Glasgow Life won't say why this information is only coming out a few days before schools close for the summer. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525653...
