More on yesterday’s book and library theme...

We read to know we are not alone,” wrote CS Lewis. He was clearly on to something. A new report claims that books are powerful enough to halt loneliness and social exclusion. The 50-page study, undertaken jointly by the thinktank Demos and the literacy charity the Reading Agency, argues that reading could also assist with social mobility and mental health, and even “hold off” dementia. It backs its argument with an array of compelling research and recommends a government investment of £200m, involving the NHS supporting “book-based interventions”, as part of its social prescribing strategy, alongside a major Comic Relief-style campaign to raise money for book charities, book circles and reading aloud schemes.

That is so cool to know. And I can believe it.

Hi. well, 30 minutes is not bad. Better than nothing.

Absolutely.

 

[CarolM]

Hi.

Adam @Tidgy's Dad says "To the police."

Hi Gillian
Yes I saw that. How are you doing ?

 

[Gillian M]

That is so cool to know. And I can believe it.

Hi! That looks great doesn't it? Only if something like that took place here, but people here do not read much: a culture I believe.

 

[CarolM]

Goodness me! Hope nobody was hurt.

I don't think so. I did not see anybody hurt and there was no ambulance either.

Good morning Gillian!

It's due to get pretty wet here this afternoon. We brought good coats so we should be OK

You can always go singing in the rain.

My Monty had respiration difficulties. Taking him to the VET would have caused him pain and fear.
That was why the VET came home to me. For my old dogs my VET would do the same--- when the time for my old dogs comes.

You have a very good Vet.

 

[AZtortMom]

Yesssssssss!!! I do.

Hi Dear friend [emoji4][emoji217]

I don't think so. I did not see anybody hurt and there was no ambulance either.

Let's hope for the best.
