The Yorkshire and Humberside branch of the School Library Association was officially ratified in April 2004. Our intention is to offer localised support, host courses and events throughout the region, promote school libraries and their staff, be advocates for school libraries, work with relevant organisations in support of school libraries and, most importantly, be relevant and affordable. Please peruse this website and comment wherever you feel able.
What's New so far (May 2008)
Based on the hugely successful author & dinner evenings put on by Kirklees and Calderdale's Children's book group (last of which was Louise Rennison) we are trying with our own. On Tuesday July 1st we are hosting a 3-course meal, at which Helena Pielichaty will speak, in the Lazarus Suite of Doncaster Race Course. This is a new innovation and arises in response to the feedback we receive after every course commenting on the invaluable social networking aspect of our events. We are NOT making profit on this evening; we hope to not make a loss and to have a great time doing so! If you are available, please join us, there’s some incentives for you to do so...
- Full details of Helena Pielichaty social are on the Courses/Events page
New on the website are:
- Details about our upcoming two courses and social event. Fuller details of the training courses will follow after the SLA Weekend Course in Glasgow.
- Application forms for our courses and social - print as many as you need! You can email them to the appropriate committee member to apply as well.
- Link to the SINTO website – don’t forget we have a reciprocal agreement offering member discounts to each other’s organisation members – well worth it.
- Committee member details.
- Minutes from our last AGM (Adobe PDF, 26 KB).
Finally we are delighted to welcome a new committee member Amanda Burton who joined our merry group in February 2008. Remember - it’s never too late to join us... See you soon. :-)
