This is one of the things #schoollibraries do. They bring together groups of students with similar interests who may otherwise have never connected. They help students find their tribe, to enable them to feel they belong & connected. It's an important role.
Our #Zines table is bringing together pupils who don't know each other and from different years -sharing ideas and having fun. It's just a wee bit beautiful!
Hearty congratulations to Gloucester Library for their winning project: Books without barriers. Working with refugees and asylum seekers to develop a reading culture. Runners up were Matson, Cirencester,and Charlton Kings.
