It is rewarding working in a school library especially when their little eyes light up when they discover something new. <br />There is never a dull moment. <br />I enjoyed the Teach Meet event and would be delighted to come to Cambridge again.<br />Jenny Horler @Harlington Upper SchoolJenny Horlerhttp://www.harlington.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829453287508418737.post-70454408724405299852010-10-12T14:20:35.210+01:002010-10-12T14:20:35.210+01:00Simon - I think it's easy to pass over the rol...Simon - I think it's easy to pass over the role of the library as space in favour of focussing on its 'core' roles as provider of books/information etc. So I'm glad to hear that you try to make your library a haven - I wonder if your young recruits aren't having to face many of the same pressures and difficulties that cause people at school to retreat to the library for a bit of peace.<br /><br />Celine - There are moves afoot to have Jenny come along to a brown bag lunch to discuss her work further, although I gather that will be after Christmas now. So schedules permitting, you should be able to hear more from her in due course!Katie Birkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430148493526943528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829453287508418737.post-70816090526028549652010-10-12T13:03:42.764+01:002010-10-12T13:03:42.764+01:00Oh I bet that was a really good visit - I thought ...Oh I bet that was a really good visit - I thought Jenny's talk at the TeachMeet was really very interesting and I would have liked to have heard more from her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829453287508418737.post-18617090374298453712010-10-12T12:47:49.017+01:002010-10-12T12:47:49.017+01:00The idea of a library as a 'safe haven' is...The idea of a library as a 'safe haven' is an interesting one and one that's perhaps not emphasised enough. <br /><br />The library I work in is very similar to a school library (used for education and leisure; available all day; lots of PC provision) and I try to emphasise its role as a 'haven' from the heavygoing military environment. For me, it's important that library users feel relaxed.Simon Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743231038181961542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829453287508418737.post-16918622265331441132010-10-12T11:04:42.051+01:002010-10-12T11:04:42.051+01:00The Delicious list is very interesting, thank you ...The Delicious list is very interesting, thank you both for making it availableSuzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066625704609426804noreply@blogger.com
