Our school courses are packed with interactive learning which you can do at home. You can read through everything, reflect on your own experience, view slideshows of examples and build your display skills by putting book covers on virtual shelves. The practical tasks at the end of each course ask you to try out activities with students in the library so those will have to wait until schools re-open. But you could take the time now to plan how you might use them when you go back. There are great activities for different age-groups, supported by attractive print materials you can download. You could have a lot of fun planning how to use these in your own school. You’ll then be ready to jump in with fresh ideas to engage your students right away and re-establish your library at the heart of the school!
Courses are not time-limited so you can drop in and out as suits your circumstances.
Getting children talking about books

Does your library or book corner look exciting and tempting?
