Learning Resources for Education

On Friday LRE spent the day with British Library with National Literacy Trust for the Inclusive Libraries conference. It was an inspiring and informative day, with fantastic talks by Jeffrey Boakye, Nazneen Ahmed Pathak, Sharna Jackson and John Vincent, plus meeting World Kid Lit reminding me it's World Kid Lit month!

We are on the road over the next week delivering resources to schools, plus we are ready and waiting to take your last minute requests for autumn 1. So whether you need books about biomes, artefacts about Ancient Greece, or a space themed story sack, get in touch!

We are devastated that our libraries colleague and friend Liam has passed away. Many of the staff at LRE have worked with Liam over the years, and many of our schools in the Rushden area will know him him from Rushden Library. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

We don't just loan resources to schools, we loan to home educators too! Join us at Corby Library on Friday 1:30 to 3:30 at their home ed drop-in event. There'll also be craft activities, lego and refreshments. Corby Library
