#GreatSchoolLibraries
We 💯% agree with our President ⤵️ #GreatSchoolLibraries need trained library staff.
200 books in an alcove under a stairwell do not a Library make.
School librarians equip children with the literacy skills to learn, relax & find information we need for fulfilled lives & to be informed citizens.
Every child deserves a Great School Library.

We agree but add this: the #GreatSchoolLibraries campaign highlights that all children need a school library because adequately funded, staffed school libraries deliver enhanced & independent learning as well as reading & curriculum support & contribute to building lifelong readers. #Staffed

HOW TO SAVE A LIFE with words by Dr Ronx & illustration by Ashton Attzs is such a great book, anyone that reads it will learn something, perfect for #GreatSchoolLibraries! Thanks to Farshore Books for sending me a copy, must have a look at the other books in the Little Experts series #KidLitUK

January was all about encouraging our children to find new things to read and set their own challenges based on the kind of readers they are. I couldn’t resist sharing this #readingresolution from a Year 6 the other week - isn’t it wonderful?! 😍
