A School Library for the Curriculum

The modern school librarian encourages reading for pleasure and also supports teaching and learning across the curriculum, both of which areas are highly complex and frequently overlap. This timely publication focuses on the many and varied ways school librarians can support the staff and pupils in schools, by providing the resources and skills they need to successfully negotiate the constantly changing curriculum. This includes innovative approaches, for example organising events such as creative writing sessions or hosting quizzes to enhance literacy across the curriculum – to achieve the best possible results for each individual. Excellent appendices include: a sample subject department scheme of work; the PLUS model for research in action; detailed case studies on Science in the Media and Geography and Literacy; and a sample resource recording grid.

Developing Digital Resources

Developing, promoting and maintaining digital resources is an exciting challenge for the busy, multi-tasking Primary Library Co-ordinator (PLC). Learning to master these resources is important in primary school libraries for its essential life skills impact; as well as its role in raising the library's profile while promoting reading and effective information handling skills. This publication guides the reader on how best to utilise these resources in the primary school library to the best curriculum and financial effect – primary school libraries are required to have an ICT presence thanks to the new Curriculum. Some schools may have dispensed with a dedicated ICT suite due to the availability and convenience of mobile technology; this change may promote a role for the library as a central information and research centre for children and adults. Includes a 'Developing Digital Resources' checklist as an appendix to guide and assist; as well as excellent web links.

Empowerment for Girls: Riveting Reads for Primary Schools

Children learn about the world through reading and the media – particularly the images they see and the messages they hear. If these are constantly gender-biased they send a strong signal reinforcing gender inequality, and a message that boys and girls not only are different, but should also be treated differently. This continual reinforcement via childhood, school and society results in an assumption that this is how it should be and that male dominance is the norm, impacting on how children respond to each other.

The books in this collection have been selected to challenge the gender assumptions girls – and boys – grow up with. They celebrate female heroines, female figures from history and public life, and female role models. Each book has been given a suggested age range and is tailored towards Primary level readers at Key Stages 1 and 2. However, as children vary in their emotional maturity as well as their reading levels and capacity for inference, these are only recommendations. The book suggestions are divided into four categories: Picture books, Fiction books, Information books, Graphic novels and Manga.

Establishing a Primary School Library

This publication will be particularly relevant for any education professionals based in a primary school planning to establish a school library, or those looking to enhance their existing one.

Written by Dawn Woods, Member Development Librarian for the SLA and former manager of Worcestershire County Council School Library Services, the publication shares a wealth of experience through chapters such as ‘What role does a school library play?’ and ‘Setting goals in a development plan’, as well as practical advice on what furniture, resources and technology are required.

There is also a useful section on using the library for learning/information literacy, plus the appendices include a budget planner, a health and safety checklist and some games to help promote the library to pupils.

Reader Review
'Establishing a Primary School Library' is an invaluable resource to anyone who is starting out as a primary school librarian, or wanting to put forward a case for a school library to school leaders. It gathers together evidence, research and data to support the undeniable belief that a school library is not only desirable, but necessary in primary settings. It also provides guidance on every aspect of the process; from building a room to choosing bookshelves, to stocking those shelves, to planning the library's output. With information that can be selected and used as required, or adapted for a number of settings and contexts. The booklet gives templates for school paperwork such as development plans or funding requests, as well as games and activities that can be used, and where to find resources, ideas or support; with information that can be picked out as required, or adapted for a number of settings and contexts. The best thing that this publication does, however, is answer the head-scratching questions of "where on earth do I start?" and "how do I actually make that happen?". Rebecca Campling
