Because, they tell us, everything changes when we read ...

... and it's that change, and that act of reading that I'm here to talk about tonight. I want to talk about what reading does. What it's good for." 

Parent, reader and rockstar writer, Neil Gaiman gave The Reading Agency's annual lecture in London last week. He talks about our obligation to daydream, the role of libraries, why there's no such thing as a bad book for children and how well-meaning adults can easily destroy a child's love of reading.  

Love it!
