Are you a school librarian now at home. What can you usefully do from home?
top of page
Over the next few weeks and months of uncertainty, the Great School Libraries campaign group wanted to do something useful. With schools closing and many now find themselves at home supporting their children's learning. We wanted to offer a place to ask a question if you are a parent looking for resources, a school librarian trying to support your local school community or a teacher we want to be here for you.
​
Our team are happy to share their expertise and will try to answer as many questions as we can to help point you in the right direction. If you post a question below we will answer as soon as we can. Please create a title that will help others understand the information you need. Thank you

Oh I‘ve done so much to help keep our pupils busy - I didn’t want to overload them though as they have so much work to do from other subjects. However, READING is a very hot subject right now with us and so I have used this opportunity well.
