Ursula has authored over 60 books, and her theme for the two year term will be Read For Your Life.

In her address, Ursula prioitises getting children to their local library and to visit regularly. “Libraries are much more than research and information centres, they are palaces of fiction… there’s great symbolic value in a school having a dedicated space for reading – it tells children that it’s important.” ⁣
