The SLA, as you would expect, is planning support materials and opportunities to share your ideas for the National Year of Reading, which takes place in England beginning in April 2008.

Already on the Members' Forum pages there are four threads: one to share what you are currently reading and your thoughts on it, one related to themed booklists which will be appearing every month on the site (related to the NYR monthly themes) one to share the activities you are planning for NYR in your library, and finally Red Hot Reads - what's hot in your library?

Do use this chance to share your ideas and pick up new ones so that we can make this National Year of Reading a great opportunity to get more engaged readers in all schools. If you're not in a school in England there is no reason why you can't join in the fun!

Watch this space for more information coming soon.
