Running a School Library Training

We will be running our popular training course again at the beginning of the new academic year. This is a great opportunity for any school librarians, teachers or other staff members/volunteers responsible for running the library. We cover a wide range of topics and you will benefit from sharing ideas and networking with others in the same position. We love running this course and here is some of the lovely feedback we have previously received:

'Was just so nice to listen to people so knowledgeable with real solutions as I just don’t have time to do all that research on top of my job.'

'I have been inspired to think about how I can improve my library and what is important in there.'

'It was very useful discussing with other schools what their library looked like and included as it made me reflect on our library and what my next steps should be.'  

Date: Thursday 25th September 2025

Time: 9.30am-1pm

Venue: Warwickshire Schools Library Service, Unit 4, WCC Hawkes Point, 1 Hawkes Drive, Heathcote Industrial Estate, Warwick, CV34 6LX
