Hello world!

Welcome to my blog about schools and reading.  The aim is to help signpost what is happening in the book and education worlds, but mainly to inform schools and librarians about the help that is available to them.

So many School Library Services have been closed in the last few years and it is becoming increasingly difficult for schools to find advice that has a local focus.  I hope to link with those that I have worked with over the years in the South West, whilst also highlighting colleagues who are able to provide services elsewhere, including where a SLS still exists.

This is very much a work in progress and I hope to increase the range of things I discuss as they crop up in conversations with people.  I am off to the School Library Association Conference at the end of the month and I am sure that will give me a huge amount of information to feed back to people.
