As we approach #BannedBooksWeek, it's crucial to reflect on the consequences of restricting access to books. First Book surveyed over 1,500 educators, and 72% reported that book bans reduce students' engagement in reading, while 65% say these bans are negatively affecting their ability to teach. Let’s continue to advocate for open access to books that spark curiosity, foster learning, and celebrate diverse voices. Learn more in the full report. - https://bit.ly/3MUkfgE #FreedomToRead #DCNonprofit #BannedBooks

📚 Invitation to Donate Books 📚 Dear Friends and Fellow Knowledge Seekers, We all know the true impact that books can have on our lives. They are windows to different worlds, sources of inspiration, and vessels of knowledge that can shape our thinking and broaden our horizons. In the spirit of sharing the invaluable lessons and insights we've gained from books, we invite you to join us in this initiative to donate books. By sharing the books that have influenced us, we can pass on the gift of knowledge to others and create a ripple effect of learning and growth. Whether it's a novel that touched your heart, a biography that inspired you, or a textbook that deepened your understanding, every book has the power to spark curiosity and kindle the flames of learning in someone else. Let's come together to build a collection of wisdom and imagination, and make these treasures accessible to more people who are eager to learn and grow. Please consider donating books that have meant something to you, and let's create a shared library of knowledge that will continue to inspire and educate for generations to come. #SMBookNook #BookTok #SupportingCommunities

One of our favourite things to do is deliver resources to our schools and today we got to deliver 4 Kindle Fires to one of our partner secondary schools. The school has been collecting Partner points for the last 10 months and asked us last week to trade in some of their points and we couldn't wait to order their request and pop down to deliver them. Since starting our LT Partners giving back scheme we have been able to provide ChromeBooks; TVs; Kindles; Sensory Packs and Bundles of Books to our partner schools. We will be reviewing available options again this summer so would be great to get some ideas of what your school would benefit from to add to our LT Partners page (https://lnkd.in/eU2HwSWD) and allocated point numbers to. Don't forget you get a poster to record your points and stickers are sent out each half term for you to monitor your progress. Save points for bigger resources or trade in from just 6 points! Your school can be part of LT Partners too, as soon as you start booking staff with us we will drop down your poster and add you to our tracker. We donate £5 from every timesheet towards our Partner Resources. Find out more by giving us a call on 01708 204494 Happy Friday! #GivingBack #Partners #LTPartners #supportingschools #resourcesforschools
