Giving my junior librarians responsibility


Attached is a photo of a display by two of my Year 5 junior librarians. This was totally their work and what was lovely was the way they worked on it in the librray at lunchtime and had their friends helping and children asking what they were doing. As a result 3 other pairs have booked their display to follow so it has set a benchmark. I took a photo of the completed display and glued it into their log books with a positive comment.


Today I took 3 of my junior librarians with me to Jabberwocky on a buying trip . They were asked to choose one book each for the library but they ended up choosing more than 1!!!. When I process the books I will write 'This book was chosen by ................." They absolutely loved the afternoon and so did I looking at books.

    I have 12 year 6 librarians and thought I would take 3 at the end of each term to choose books. My year 5 's will get a turn next year.I have a book rep showing me some books tomorrow so have invited 2 other children to look at the books with me and help with selection.
