The Free Books Campaign founder reflects on making books more accessible, from discovering the library as a child to becoming a leading advocate for authors-of-colour
Wow, I knew youth centres had closed but hadn’t realised so many libraries had been closed too (I’m an expat). I left the UK 10 years ago and used the library all my life before that.
I experienced that printed book is more comfortable to read as compared to ebook. My book on “Maktab e Ishaq “ in Urdu language comprised of stories of Punjabi poets published this January and I have distributed books costing £ 1000 free among the 100 plus book lovers in Pakistan.
