For any librarians and teacher-librarians in European international schools (or beyond), please consider joining us at a new conference in March 2025 - inspired by Librarians Knowledge Sharing Workshop in Asia! https://t.co/rNgqdcVzUY The expression of interest form is live now.

It was so wonderful to be with some of my favorite people and talk about all things school libraries for a few days. I will miss LKSW!!

Early childhood educators!
I'm looking for the best books you have read to the under 5s in the last three years.
Any topic, any creator, must be available in English.

And I would be remiss if I didn't point out how amazing the international school library community in Singapore is!

It's a big, busy, well-resourced library. This position is orientated towards teaching: regular Middle School library lessons and lots of work with Sixth Form students on research and information literacy.

This was a relatively small sample (37 librarians) but it covered 21 different countries. I would love to hear from other international school librarians out there! I have left the survey open if you would like to participate: https://t.co/eRn5tN5ASY

[Kim Beeman @kimbeeman]

For a presentation at #L2L in Dubai last week, I surveyed international school librarians about the restrictions and regulations they face in their contexts. You can see the presentation here: https://t.co/b0FS6jXniE

[Kim Beeman @kimbeeman]

Respondents reported that 85% of challenges were initiated by parents.

[Kim Beeman @kimbeeman]

I have heard from librarians in 21 countries so far - it would be great to hear from even more!

[Kim Beeman @kimbeeman]

Last call if you would like to participate in my survey about book regulations, restrictions and challenges in international school libraries. I would love to hear from you - and will share my results here next week!

[Kim Beeman @kimbeeman]

I am working on a presentation about book regulations, restrictions, and challenges in intl. schools. If you are an intl. school librarian, I would love to hear from you! Short, anonymous survey here: https://t.co/QhIsLy6G97 Please repost!
