We won!! 🏆 The 2024 Yoto Carnegies have been named Best Development of an Existing Awards Event at the #AwardsAwards! Huge thanks to the teams at @ed_pr @AgileIdeasUK and @CILIPinfo. We’re proud to champion librarians and reading for pleasure. Thank you @GlobalConfNet! 💛📚



🙏 librarians who use books to show kids that kindness is king! Completely grateful for all the support. Anyone who promotes reading for pleasure is a hero imo. The “alpha male” frauds who prey on identity issues of teenage boys are a disgrace. @CarnegieMedals @CILIPinfo
A fantastic event that inspired young people up and down the country. We were proud to sponsor for another year, and had a blast attending! 💫
