Emilie Lauren Jones Arden Academy Authors Abroad When I set up the Able Writers (now A.I.M High) scheme in 2002, talented young writers like Catherine were the ones we hoped to reach and inspire.

“But the library should be the heart, the soul, the mind, the source, the spring, the gold-bearing seam, the engine room, the treasure chamber, the priceless inheritance, the joy and the pride of the school. Every school.”

‘The library can play a huge role in supporting the physical health, mental health and wellbeing of students.
The physical space... the curated... resources... the activities... a school librarian uses all of these to create a nurturing and healing environment’ Great School Libraries
