We’re celebrating the launch of the 1,000th library transformation! A major milestone in our Libraries for Primaries campaign 🎉 Yesterday, Her Majesty The Queen opened the 1,000th school library at Moreland Primary School in Islington. The opening included a special recital of a poem penned by the Waterstones Children’s Laureate, Joseph Coelho, exclusively for the occasion: “This thousand is just one step and we shall make thousands more for every school must have a library every library opens a thousand doors.” Since 2018, we have been working alongside the National Literacy Trust to help transform hundreds of primary school libraries across the country by providing books and training for teachers to help create hubs of creativity and imagination. With the opening of this 1,000th library, we have now provided more than 382,000 primary-aged children across the UK with vital access to books. The campaign now looks to reach the remaining schools without a library in the UK by 2028 📚🧡 Read more about the day >> https://lnkd.in/gmnVmaar #books #book #library #libraries #schoollibrary #schoollibraries #reading #readers #publishing #workinpublishing #PenguinBooks
