This week I am delighted to introduce you to award-winning children’s author Dimity Powell.

Dimity likes to fill every spare moment with words. She writes and reviews stories exclusively for kids and is the Managing Editor for Kids’ Book Review. Her word webs appear in anthologies, school magazines, junior novels, as creative digital content, and picture books including The Fix-It Man (2017) and At The End of Holyrood Lane (2018).

She is a seasoned presenter both in Australia and overseas, an accredited Write Like An Author facilitator and a Books in Homes Role Model Volunteer in Australia.

Dimity believes picture books are soul food, to be consumed at least 10 times a week. If these aren’t available, she’ll settle for ice-cream. She lives just around the corner from Bat Man on the Gold Coast although she still prefers hanging out in libraries than with superheroes.

In this post, Dimity shares her love of libraries and explains why it is important to ensure every child has access to a library at school and every reader a local library.

Welcome to readilearn, Dimity. Over to you.

      Thanks for reading and commenting, Patsy. I’m so pleased you support Dimity’s ideas. It would be a dreadful day if there were ever no more libraries.

        You’re welcome, Nora! I sure do and it really would be a dreadful day if libraries ever closed! To me it would feel like losing a friend! 🙂

    I AM partial to libraries. Working at a library and seeing all ages come in and get excited about books is lots of fun!

      It would be, Barbara. I can just imagine. Libraries are magical places. You are so lucky to work in a library, and those who enter it are fortunate in having you there to assist them.

    What a lovely interview–and I love the thought. Me too–I regularly get lost in reading.
