You are so right, Leigh - and I heard a nice idea last week - Jo at National Library told me about a note she saw from the librarian at her son’s school - the librarian had added a note in a book her son had requested, saying “I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did, and also Mrs… (the name of another teacher in the school)” What a neat thing to do, making a connection with a student and their reading, and with another teacher / reader in the school…

Knowing your stock also - you can sell to both students and staff - ‘have you seen …? what about this …? maybe this would be good … not quite what you were after but it may be useful/helpful/interesting … ’
