Unlocking the Potential of School Libraries

Please ignore the poor internet connection at the beginning. It does get better so please push through that bit!  In this episode, I have an insightful conversation with Adam Barry, Development Manager at Technology for Sage. Together we explore the expansive impact of school libraries beyond their walls, emphasising the need for advocacy and showcasing the indispensable role of librarians in education and community support. Adam shares his journey of discovering the profound significance of libraries, presenting thought-provoking questions to our host Elizabeth, who offers insights on the diverse roles of school librarians beyond promoting reading for pleasure. Together, they discuss the importance of networking, personal branding, and marketing skills to effectively communicate the value of school libraries to a broader audience. Whether you're an educator, librarian, or simply interested in education's evolving landscape, this episode provides valuable perspectives on the transformative power of school libraries. Tune in and discover how librarians can elevate their impact and foster a love for learning across the curriculum.
