It's World Book Day and our library officers are sharing books that have been special in their lives.

Libraries coordinator Toby at Mortlake picked Caught in the Act by Shane Jenek AKA Courtney Act.

“Caught in the Act was the first book I borrowed out and read when I first joined CMLS 3 years ago. I was still early in my transition journey, so I found this book to be really validating and comforting.”

What book has been validating in your life? Let us know in the comments.
