Thank you @NicolaSturgeon for your support for libraries in Scotland - it was great to speak to you about the impact our librarians have.

Scotland now has fewer schools with a librarian than the rest of the UK, this needs to change. If any MSPs would like to find out more about the impact of school librarians and libraries come and chat to us, last day in @ScotParl

School libraries and librarians are essential but need protection and support. We are in the Scottish Parliament this week making that clear (plus we have library baubles)

"Local authorities say fewer people are using libraries". This is misleading, when investment is made then usage shoots up, as we have seen in Paisley. They are integral to literacy and many more things as @GGallerina describes so well here (2 mins in) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0ā¦
