I’m joining school children and @clpe1 today in sharing a promise to do something for my community, as part of #clpeinourhands - I’m going to do at least one free children’s event in a public library this year (maybe it’ll look a bit like this).

Shocker. Now look at this data again alongside how many children have access to a STAFFED school library and dedicated reading time in school. If children don't read at home, give them the means to read elsewhere.
