Stories to make connections, explore emotions and build understanding of the world around us – and some great adventures too!

Summer reading ideas

The Summer holidays are a great time to encourage families to read together.

We have collated a great list of the most popular books for parents to share with their children. There are 3 lists for EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

Or send them home with a copy of our 'Holiday Bingo'.

Reminder of our school library network meetings

Our termly networking meetings are held either at our centre in Willand or at a host school. They are led by the SLS advisory team and are a source of up-to-date information, the sharing of ideas and good practice, plus a chance to look around another library and talk about the books we love! Look out for the next meeting details. FREE to everyone!!
