In both US and Australia you need a teaching qualification as well as a library one to work in schools. It may eventually come here. I have done courses on teaching skills that have been very useful when doing library lessons.<br />JennyJenny Horlerhttp://www.harlington.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829453287508418737.post-46678074365329918992010-10-29T09:51:07.088+01:002010-10-29T09:51:07.088+01:00Thanks Niamh.

I really can't work out why I didn't twig earlier, given that at least one of the advertised posts that I was interested over the summer actually wanted a teaching qualification.

Most library posts I've held/seen have involved teaching, some more than others of course. Welcome to the network!Niamhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860783347121152391noreply@blogger.com
