Donating books to Devizes Library
In August I donated books to Devizes Library in support of the Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge. I'm a great reader myself and I was delighted to support this initiative: anything that gets our children reading is a great idea and research shows that those who use libraries for pleasure get better jobs than those that don't.
The Summer Reading Challenge has a proven impact on children's literacy and enjoyment of reading and is a pivot for developing better joint literacy work between libraries and schools.
