The other wonderful thing about visiting Manningham Library this week for the Summer Reading Challenge was getting to see the setting of our current staff book club text! We are all enjoying The Mercy Step for its raw honesty and beautiful description of the power of reading and libraries.

A school, who we have worked with for just 12 months, contacted us recently with this feedback. We are blown away. To think our programme is opening doors for students that they thought were closed and giving them a voice is an incredible feeling.
