Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

Today marks five years working in the #SchoolLibrary. From Library Assistant to Senior Library Assistant to Senior Librarian. Good to get out of my head of the day-to-day and reflect on this journey - I think I'm quite proud.

New year, new ideas:
#SchoolLibrarians share your favourite #SchoolLibrary and #LibraryLesson activities and initatives so we can all benefit from a bit that elusive mid-winter, start-of-a-new-term #inspiration!
Please and thanks! Signed, a school librarian with the Sunday scaries :)
