8. School Libraries in the UK: a worthwhile past, a difficult
present and a transformed future?
Too many school libraries are staffed by unqualified people who
lack the skills and knowledge to work effectively with teachers in
developing information literacy, in actively and imaginatively
promoting reading and in exploiting the possibilities of ICT to
support learning.

87% of qualified librarians are contributing to information
literacy work in their school by such activities as planning and
conducting lessons in the library or classroom, often jointly with
teachers. A growing number of library staff are actively engaging
with ICT to make e-resources available and help develop e-learning
platforms to support teaching and learning throughout the
school.

21. WORLD BOOK DAY
Ive got an author coming in 10 days after WBD and he write fantasy
fiction for children, so Im incorporating a fantasy theme into my
WBD in the librarygoing to hide 8 elves in the library each with a
clue and the answer leads on to the next elf. Everyone who
completes the treasure hunt will get a (chocolate!) gold coin, and
if they write a book review too of their favourite fantasy book,
they may win something else. I just hope it works! Have made
posters and stuck them around the school, plus, Im coming in one
day in half-term to sort it all out.
