Library services in England can help transform lives, communities and society as a whole, including in relation to children by supporting them to develop and enjoy their reading; to learn and study; and to take part in events and activities.

These included a number of projects which promoted children’s access to library services.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 14/11/2018 11:46:52 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
