Calling schools in Bath, Bristol North Somerset. Do you want a visit from me on Thursday June 13th ? Special ‘mates rates’ day if you do. Oldfield School Royal High School Bath Combe Down Primary School School Library Association (SLA) The Yoto Carnegies contact Authors Aloud UK to book

I’m so looking forward to exchanging ideas!

Love it! 👀 Nathanael Lessore, you too!

This morning I decided to a very quick count of the students who used the #library from when I opened (7:15 am) to 8 am. Well over 200, which is a reminder of the importance of #school #libraries & how many kids rely on them on a daily basis.
