Aimed at UK school librarians wanting ideas for preparing for the summer break and for the new academic year plus the bits in-between!

By the end of the webinar, delegates will be able to:

1. Compile and justify a pre-holiday task list that leaves the library in good order over the summer break
2. Identify creative ways to gather resources, contacts, and inspiration while away from school
3. Negotiate and design compelling induction slots for new staff and students – whether one minute or one hour long
4. Adapt induction activities for successive groups and for different Key Stages
5. Plan follow-up actions to embed summer gains into the new academic year
