Mrs H is looking forward to finding out what other school libraries are doing to support their school communities, future trends and free books, what's not to like? #GreatSchoolLibraries
Mrs H had a day out being inspired by some amazing school librarians today. Lots of ideas to bring back to school. A big thank you to @RusheyMeadAcad for hosting and sharing your inspiring reading culture.
What a wonderful first day of Accessit Roadshows Reimagined! So lovely to talk to our librarians, hearing about the creative ways they use Accessit. A huge thanks to our brilliant host at @RusheyMeadAcad, and to our engaging panellists from @bramcotecoll and @DerbyHighSchool!
We are running a staff "Read Along" encouraging members of staff to try one of the shortlisted books and share thoughts. There is one book left, staff can pop in tomorrow - don't miss out! #WomensPrize #DerbyHighSchool
The 6 spellbinding novels that make up the 2024 #WomensPrize for Fiction shortlist capture between their pages the enormous breadth of the human experience.
Congratulations to all the authors!

We have been working hard to improve diversity within our stock. It's been made a lot easier now that publishers are doing their bit. Still a long way to go #Equality #GreatSchLibs
