Engaging and Empowering School Libraries
Education
Tonight we revisited our discussion around non-fiction collections in school libraries which we started back in July 2022. It seemed the right time to come back to this important topic as the conversation around reading for pleasure seems to focus more and more on our fiction collections. Many of my recent conversations have been about the balance between fiction and non-fiction when you are building your library collections. Do we know our non-fiction collections as well as we know our fiction collections and are we considering the role our non-fiction collection has on recreational reading and supporting independent learning when we decide on how to spend our budgets? We dive into some of this during our discussion this evening.
We dive into book awards, ways to find new non-fiction titles and ideas for encouraging non-fiction reading in your schools.
We were joined by factual book author Andy Seed and school librarian Jenny Toerien alongside my usual co-hosts Ruth Maloney and Sabrina Cox.
