What a wonderfully diverse collection of resources. They will meet kids "where they are" and still offer plenty of creativity and learning.

Why library closures are a catastrophe | The Times

Why library closures are a catastrophe | The Times | Supporting Children's Literacy | Scoop.it
A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life-raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold, rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen instead. A human with a brain and a heart and a desire to be uplifted, rather than a customer with a credit card and an inchoate “need” for “stuff”.
