Great to see #GLLLiteraryFoundation author Olivia Wakeford at @andersenpress.bsky.social tonight for the @philearle.bsky.social Klaus Flugge salon event. Such a brilliant evening with Caroline Nolan!

Two fantastic class visits with #GLLLiteraryFoundation author @adeolasokunbi, today, part of the #EmpathyDayFestival! Thank you Adeola! @empathylabuk.bsky.social @cilip-ylgse.bsky.social

Enormous thanks to @ylglondon.bsky.social for inviting me to speak at their Teen Training Day today. Myself & colleague Caroline talked about ideas on running teen reading groups. Great to hear keynote speaker & #GLLLiteraryFoundation supported author Nathanael Lessore talk before me. Brill morning!

Great to see #GLF25 author @nadinewildpalm.bsky.social featured along with Literary Foundation champion @octoberjonesco.bsky.social talking about the fantastic launch of the #GLLLiteraryfoundation and lovely perspectives on this exciting programme for authors run by libraries!

So proud of Alex Falase Koya, one of our fantastic #GLLLiteraryFoundation authors appearing at #StoriesByTheLake yesterday. Alex’s event was such good fun including a reading, quiz & a drawing activity. Enjoyed by all! @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social

There’s so much in the works for #RoehamptonLibrary in ‘25.
There’s the epic #GLLLiteraryFoundation, a wealth of Author visits, Borough of Culture, groundbreaking proposals with HUGE impacts on imprisoned families/ New Arrivals and MUCH more!
