Special Delivery!

What a way to start the new school year. Post from the palace 👑 Reuben wrote to Her Majesty The Queen @theroyalfamily all about his work on Blooms For Books, his @plaa_uk Librarian Award, his fabulous interview with @nickrobinsonbbc, and his big plans for the future.

Her Majesty has a long-standing interest in literacy and reading and became Patron of The National Literacy Trust as HRH The Duchess of Cornwall in November 2010. @literacy_trust
