20+ book quotes that you can share as images
I love book quotes, and I share a lot of them on our webpage, on Twitter, or on Facebook. Quotes from famous writers are highly striking and inspiring, but there is one problem – in times of Internet and information overload even the strongest words may come unnoticed. Nowadays, the biggest challenge is to make words visible. I realized that sharing the same quote as a text has much less response than having exactly the same quote as an image. That’s why I’ve prepared more than 20 book quotes that are in a form of images. There are many quotes on books and reading that are already visualized, some of them very beautifully, but some of the most convincing ones were left behind. Using the images to bring people closer to words may sound like a paradox, but’s it’s not. To create this set of quotes I used a very smart web tool called Share as Image. In times of the Internet words become cheap. If you want a new quote to be added to this set, please share it in the comments. Leave a comment

Patron of Reading | Helena Pielichaty's Diary of a children's writer
Background History A few years ago Tim Redgrave, then the deputy head at Ysgol Esgob Morgan Juniors in St Asaph, Denbighshire, brought his Y6 class to St Asaph Library to hear me give a talk as part of Denbighshire Libraries Book Week. I must have been cooking on gas that day because I made a huge impression, not only on the children, but also on Tim. Towards the end of last year (2010), I received an email from Tim, now headteacher at the school, telling me he’d had this idea for promoting and nurturing a love of reading. What is a patron of reading? A patron of reading is a school’s special, designated children’s author with whom the school forms a personal attachment. What does a patron of reading do? Other schools might have their own ideas about what a patron of reading does; that’s the beauty of it. What does the school do? So far Ysgol Esgob Morgan has: What impact has it had on the school? The patron of reading idea has: Choosing your patron: Financial cost to the school No.

Cooperative organizations are organized to meet the common needs of a particular group of people. While there is no universal definition of a cooperative, two are commonly referred to in the United States. The U.S. A broader definition of a cooperative has been developed by the International Alliance of Cooperatives (ICA), which describes a co-op as “an autonomous, voluntary association meeting common economic, social, and cultural needs through a jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise." Businesses operating on a cooperative basis subordinate the interests of the capital investor to those of the business user, and returns on capital are limited.
