Libraries Week is a celebration organised by CILIP of all the wonderful things libraries do. For 2020, libraries from all sectors are encouraged to celebrate books and reading, to showcase their reading offer and the contribution they make towards building a Nation of Readers.
As part of this, Swindon Libraries and Information Service will be celebrating the work of Steve Antony, our Children’s Library Patron. Steve is a local author and illustrator with many successful and popular books, such as the Mr Panda series, Unplugged, Green Lizards vs Red Rectangles and many more! Steve has also illustrated the new Peter Bently adaptation of Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Steve regularly works with Swindon Libraries Outreach Team on local community projects to encourage a love of reading and books. Steve has also been a huge supporter of the Summer Reading Challenge and has created fantastic inclusive competitions for all children to take part in each year. Holding inspiring events in our libraries have captured the imagination of children and young people; raising aspirations and increasing confidence.
We are so delighted to have Steve Antony as our Children’s Library Patron and greatly appreciate all the fantastic work he does with Swindon Libraries to encourage a love of reading and of Swindon Libraries. During Libraries Week, we will be celebrating the time that Steve has generously given to Swindon Libraries by showcasing some of the projects we have worked on together and by reading some of his brilliant books online.
