Newcastle's literature hub, Seven Stories, has been given a grant of £89,000 to help fund it's work in the community and local schools.
The Centre for Children’s Books, based in Ouseburn, is the only charity in the North East to receive the prestigious Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund grant, donated by the Museums Association.
The funding will go towards helping the centre co-curate it's archive collection, which includes material from over 250 children’s authors and illustrators, and also aid the charity's new digital resources for local schools.
