I was a school librarian for over ten years and have seen first hand the difference a love of reading can make, especially to children and young adults. It’s with this in mind I launched The Book Activist, to empower and encourage children and young people to discover the joy of reading for themselves. I’m very fortunate to now work at The National Literacy Trust as Programme Manager for Love our Libraries. I’m a lifelong avid reader and like nothing more than to share my love for stories, reading and books!
