SLA Voices

SLA Voices is a brand new series of publications from the School Library Association which spotlight the excellent work done by individual SLA members in their own libraries. The new series will introduce shorter works from a personal perspective, offering fresh and direct experiences and insights.

In addition to seeing how other library staff have moved their libraries on from being just 'a room full of books' to underpinning the learning and teaching in their school, this series of personal case studies will give you lots of ideas that you can adapt to your own situation.

SLA Voices lets the real voice of our members shine through, so they have minimal editing and the opinions contained in each publication are those of the featured writer and not necessarily those of the Association.
