Say hello to another Penguin vending machine 👋 Secondary-school students at Linlithgow Academy now have access to over 70 different titles from our #LitinColour reading lists, via their new vending machine! Linlithgow Academy was picked from over 800 applications from schools across the UK, and it's hoped the vending machine will contribute to the school’s love of reading by making books more accessible and diversifying the range of titles available 📚✨ The machine is free to use and will be managed by teachers via a token system. With iconic titles from authors like Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, and Arundhati Roy, it will help students discover more brilliant books by authors of colour 🧡 Take a look at the #LitinColour reading lists >> https://lnkd.in/eQ8q-vjQ #books #book #reading #reader #school #schools #teacher #englishliterature #education #inclusive #publishing #library #PenguinBooks

This #LibrariesWeek, we're thrilled to announce that Libraries for Primaries has been shortlisted in the 2024 Drum Social Purpose Awards! 📚🎉 A staggering 1 in 7 primary schools in England do not have a library, which rises to 1 in 4 in our most disadvantaged communities. Since 2018, we've been working with the National Literacy Trust to address this, as we know that fostering a love of reading in children is fundamental to their future success. Research has shown that children who read for pleasure are more likely to excel academically, experience better mental well-being and self-esteem, and develop empathy and creativity 🧡 See the latest impact >> https://lnkd.in/eR7j4Exb The Drum Awards | The Drum #libraries #library #schoollibrary #librarian #books #book #school #schools #education #reading #reader #publishing #PenguinBooks
