Running a School Library

Course dates to follow

Do you need help with the day to day running of your school library?  Are you new to your school library or just need a refresher in the ‘basics’?

This course is designed for library co-ordinators and any other staff with library responsibilities to give guidance to schools wishing to improve and develop an existing school library or start one from scratch. We will cover everything from creating a library policy to mending books!

The course is led by the team at the Schools Library Service. The morning does have a programme but we are happy to help you with any specific problems you may have regarding your own libraries.

If you wish to come please bring five of your own school library books which are in need of ‘attention’ and we will show you the easiest and cheapest way to mend them.
