Publishers sue state of Idaho over library book bans Lawsuit says its definition of ‘harmful materials’ forbidden to under 18s is ‘vague and overbroad’ and puts librarians at risk

'Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, and Sourcebooks filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alongside three authors, a public library district, the US writers’ body the Authors Guild, a teacher, two students and two parents.'

Right back to when I was 5!! It looks astonishing 🤩

Libraries need Librarians Like fishes need the sea If a Library does not have one Then it will cease to be. If you see Librarians Treat them with due care Because if by chance you lose them The shelves will soon be bare. Libraries need Librarians Librarians are ace If someone tries to sack one You should punch them in the face. You could hit them with your fist Or a ball that's made for bowling But best would be a sock Stuffed with a hardback set of Rowling. Libraries and librarians Both are bloody great Please don't let the government Decide on their fate. Written by Matt Imrie, Eve Ainsworth & John Dougherty

Back in 2018 on the other site, I write two verses of a poem called Libraries Need Librarians. Eve Ainsworth & John Dougherty (two phenomenal authors) liked what they read and added some extra verses. You can read the entire poem below:

It’s mad that Jane Austen was born 250 years ago and we still haven’t had enough

When times feel a bit grim, I like to think about the 14th Century, which featured The Great Famine (1315-1317), The Black Death (1347-1351), The Great Schism (1378) and The Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). That always cheers me up

So excited to be part of this amazing line up in Manchester this summer! Have you got your tickets yet?!

Had the really cool pleasure of being interviewed by Jonathan Crain. Check it out.
