Children's laureate Julia Donaldson to tour libraries
Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson has been named as the new children's laureate.
The role, which has a bursary of £15,000, is awarded every two years to an eminent writer or illustrator of children's books.
The author told the BBC's David Sillito that she is planning a tour of UK libraries in an effort to highlight their importance.
