from Jonathan Davies for Mid Derbyshire https://ift.tt/dkyK3AG
I spoke on a panel organised by CILIP highlighting libraries as centres of essential learning. Libraries transform education and local communities.
Recent data has highlighted that library visits have increased by 71% between 2021-22 and 2022-23 – despite many local authority libraries facing cuts, closures or reduced hours.

We must stand by our libraries, so they remain open and provide good services to local communities.
