I am thrilled that we have published our landmark report into ELicensing for public libraries, which shows that cheaper eBooks for libraries could revolutionise the promotion of reading. The interests of publishers, authors, libraries and readers align!

Library garden with study desks: such a nifty idea at @LivUniLibrary. The desks have power points and solar lights that come on as the daylight fades. The garden has drought resistant plants inspired by Shakespeare. Not surprisingly- they are super popular with students!

I am excited to be in Liverpool for the reopening of Spellow Library. The library team, council and community have done an incredible job to bring it back like a pheonix from the ashes. Libraries across the country are sending their support by lighting up tonight #ShareTheLight
@lpoolcouncil @Liverpoollib #Live | The light has returned to #SpellowLibrary! ✨ Along with 150 other libraries across the country this evening, Spellow now shines brightly, highlighting libraries as a place of sanctuary, knowledge and community. 💡📚 #ShareTheLight
