Ach, it's true. I just love everything about school . Childhood is short. The work school librarians do echoes through generations. A great school librarian is the best start you can give a child, IMHO

It's PHASE THREE, people!

It is lovely to be able to genuinely recommend a partners work - twice in the past two days I've recommended a resource or benefit from CILIP I may not be a member any more but I still very much appreciate their work. Its a great sector I work in!
