The annual Public Lending Right figures have been released and Francesca Simon is the 4th most borrowed author from all UK public libraries (adults and childrens authors combined). Earlier this week in her speech at the launch of the Imagine Children’s Festival 2014, Francesca reiterated her huge support for libraries:

Having access to books is the birthright of every child, and as people who are passionate about literacy, we have to speak out against library cuts and library closures.
