Your School Library – Course 3!

Published by The Librain under Library Online, Library development, School libraries, Your School Library, training

Well, folks, I have been neglecting this blog over the Summer – sorry! Anyone who knows me will understand that I have been really busy organising the refurbishment of my school library. Is that a valid excuse? Well, I think so!

Anyway, it is progressing very well and we hope to open it soon. From the time the work started, in July, I have been taking photos and posting them on the library site – Library Online. Also, I have been tweeting (probably too much) from The Librain’s account and also my school library account – Library Online – with almost daily updates. I think that because of this activity, I have been asked to do a presentation for the next Your School Library Course!

If you are interested in library design, then this course should be very interesting. There are some great presenters – I wish I could have had this course a year ago! Anyway, if you want to find out more, then check out the flyer below:

With presenters like this can you afford to miss this course?
Some participants in the previous course found the Sosius platform that we used a little difficult to get-to-grips with. This time, I have been asked to moderate a help forum for Sosius and I have written a guide that will be made available to all. That way, we will be able to help each other get the best out of this great opportunity for professional development.
“See” you there!
