Support to Library Service for Education

Hosted meetings, (free of charge), organised by the LSE (Library Services for Education).

* We have given a number of local school librarians tours of King's Library to give them ideas on planning, seating and general organisation.

* We share ideas via the LSE eg. 'good practice', reading lists, author recommendations etc.

* We have donated surplus stock to other school libraries.

* King's Library is a member of the SLA (Schools Library Association) and is on the SLN (School Libraries Network) and so also provides more national support via these organisations

Aims

Aim: To aid other school libraries with best practice and share ideas

Need: Libraries are always looking to adapt and improve

Beneficiaries: Members of the public and schools who will eventually benefit form sharing of best practice and also use the second hand books.

Background

The partnership came about as the school is a member of SLA
