Yay! The Northern YA Lit Fest is back in Preston on July 19th bit.ly/3WRVI11 #BookSky💙📚 #NYALitFest #YoungAdultLiterature #reading #BookFestival @uclanpublishing.bsky.social

Well-meaning adults can easily crush a child's enthusiasm for reading by dismissing their choices, saying a book is no good. By all means introduce them to books you think are good, but never forget: it's all reading & it's all good! Let them READ FOR PLEASURE & they'll be readers forever! #literacy

💗 On Wednesdays, we wear PINK 💗 Come to the UCLan Publishing Bookshop in ME021 and get a Valentine's Day treat 📚 Keep an eye out on our socials this week for some special giveaways 👀 💗
